The Buick Centurion had a short run, having been made from only 1971-1973.
It was intended to be a sporty middle-value
car from Buick. The body looked very similar to the Buick LeSabre
and Buick Century, and in fact, sometimes its name "Centurion" was confused with the Buick Century.
This classic car has at least some sentimental value to me,
because my Dad had a 1973 Buick Century
and my grandparents had an early 1970s Buick
LeSabre that had very similar (if not the same) headlights.
In 2011, this brown convertible with 54K original miles
was sold at an auction in Colorado for $6500. If you love the Buick Centurion,
I hope you enjoy the photos and videos below!

A line of cars were sold at today's auction, but this 1971 Buick classic was the most popular one! |

Very sporty body for a Buick. |

The passenger side had two glitches that would need to be addressed in a restoration project. 1) The body had a small dent (a "ding") on the passenger side toward the back. It can be seen in the walk around video below. 2) The sporty metal lining that went across the passenger side door was missing.

The emblem on the hood had a unique Centurion design. |

The dashboard and interior. I certainly do not want to be a "kill joy" about the inside, but I found the interior and
overall design inside to be underwhelming. The steering wheel is so boring! Everything lacked pizzazz. Having said that, the car's interior was in very good shape. |
 |
Love the sporty wheel cover and circular design around the wheel. |
 |
One more shot of this beauty! |
