Centurions were 1971 to 1973. They have a center medallion upfront. I believe the 455 was standard. Many of the items in the car are specific to the Centurion: the left-hand drivers outside mirror for example. This is an amazing find. The car Wizard on YT also has some videos on a 1973 that he worked on. I enjoy your channel very much guys.

Back in the early 70's when I was in my late teens, I worked part time for a Buick dealership and remember when I first encountered a Centurion Convertible in I believe, 1971. I fell in love immediately. The Centurion was only made for only 2 or 3 years! I believe the Centurion model was discontinued in 1973. They were positioned between the LeSabre and the Electra 225. They were basically a Loaded up LeSabre but they were their own distinct model and in my opinion, a very beautiful one!!!!

Buicks are good cars. We had 4 "50" Buicks in our family back in the day. Straight 8 engines and water-cooled transmissions. Dynaflow. I've had two in the last 8 years. 3.8 V6's. One of the best engines ever built. Trannies are a little weak. I have a 2008 LaCrosse now. 123K miles. Runs like a top and drives great. I'll put another 100K on it no doubt. These Centurians had 315hp. Not bad but they weren't built for drag racing.

A Centurion was a Roman soldier who was in command of 100 legionnaires. He was individually distinguishable by his headdress. The legionnaires headdress had a combed horse hair center stack, similar to a mohawk. The Centurion also had a horsehair stack but it was not centered, rather fabricated sideways, ear to ear. This was thought to be to make the Centurion easily identifiable to the legionnaires when in battle. As for the Buick Centurion, this 1971 convertible, like all Buick Centurions has unfortunately missed the mark by adopting a badge that is not representational of a Roman Centurion. 😮

The car looks amazing! One thing you guys don't do is remove the seat belts......IF you unbolt them and run them thru the laundry with mild soap, it's amazing what a difference you'll see, the color usually comes back and then they add that extra detail to the interior. I could see the belts in the back were tucked in under the seats, they did look like they were restorable.

Buick introduced the Centurion in 1971 and produced it until 1973. It was considered a luxury vehicle like the Caprice, Grand Ville, and Delta 88. It was a replacement for the Buick Wildcat. It didn’t use the traditional Buick emblem, but rather a Centurion helmet. Personally, I thought it was one of Buick’s most beautiful designs. We had a 1971 Chevrolet Caprice which was really beautiful. Happy 2024, WD! I enjoy your videos!

Chevrolet nicknamed the Caprice “the little Cadillac” because of the family resemblance to the Sedan De Ville and Motor Trend mentioned that the Caprice was the better value because you could order every option and still come in under the Caddy’s base price. Over the years it was a family favorite and I wish I had it today!

The Centurion was the replacement for the Buick Wildcat and followed the recipe for the ‘banker’s hot rod’, a notion originated by Buick with the Century, in 1936, which signified the ability to travel at 100mph. The idea was to back the division’s largest and most powerful engine with the smaller and lighter chassis. The Centurion, also available only with the 454, followed that marketing strategy. If you wanted the top luxury model you moved up to the Electra.

1971-1973 First seen on a concept car, the Centurion was nearly identical to the contemporaneous Buick LeSabre, differing in badging and grillework, minimal chrome trim, and an absence of the VentiPorts found on other full-size Buicks. Body styles included two-door and four-door hardtops and a convertible. There were no pillared sedans. The two-door hardtop shared the handsome semi-fastback roofline with the LeSabre and other GM B-body cars (such as the Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe and the Olds Delta 88) along with a standard vinyl roof. Replacing the Wildcat as the mid-line full-sized Buick positioned between the lower-priced LeSabre and the larger and more luxurious C-body Electra 225, the Centurion was promoted more as a mid-level luxury car than the Wildcat, which was marketed as a sporty/luxury performance car. The Centurion was offered initially with only the 455-cubic-inch (7.5 L) big-block V8 in two power output ranges determined by the presence of either a single or dual exhaust. The 1971 Centurion produced 315 hp (235 kW) at 4400 rpm and 510 lb⋅ft (690 N⋅m) of torque at 2800 rpm with the base 455. The Centurion was also offered in the 455 Stage 1 and manual transmission configuration as well during the early portion of the 1971 model year, shared with the Buick GSX. This was known as the A9 and B6 Option when ordering the car. What also separated the car from the LeSabre was that when the car would be ordered or recognized as a Centurion it would be branded as a 4P Series as the first two letters of the Vehicle Identification Number. The Centurion was Buick's only convertible offering in 1973.

Those paw prints are most likely from a raccoon hence the strong urine smell comming out of the carpets. Nice rare car find. My Uncle had a '72 impala convert. with a 402 corvette high performance big block in it. I know this because I replaced the worn timing chain and gear, behind the timing chain was stamped into the front of the engine behind the timing cover; it said corvette high perf. It was a speacial order bought new in 72 by my uncle. That buick is a cool car and should be fully restored to new specs. Those cars would do 80 plus without hesitation. It was like riding a magic carpet. Back then speed limits were 75 on interstate highways. Would love to follow this ride to completion.

Hi Brent. The paw prints...my guess is raccoon. They are scavengers. Car _full_ of rodents...yeah... Raccoons live in forest areas, they eat the carcasses of wildlife there.

Buick which was the company that built this car had a nice feature called a 2nd needle in the speedometer. That was the speed alarm. You would set it for what the speed limit was on the road you were traveling so that way, you had something that would alert you for if you felt like stomping on the throttle. Also many cars in those days had what some might call the pausing shut off for the windshield wipers. When you turn the wipers off, they would stop 3/4 of the way to the lower position before tucking under the hood. When they did go under the hood, sometimes you would hear them hit something when they tuck under.

Amazing work lads, I would have probably completely submerged the carpet and let it soak or is that not feasible?

Here's a fun fact: Buick used the Centurion nameplate on a 1956 Motorama concept car which introduced the back-up camera, a feature that would usually be on vehicles produced nowadays. The back-up camera consisted of a rear-view mirror of the car inside.

Nice work cleaning up this old car ! I hope they don't park it again and that someone restores it so it looks like new. Did you check the engine to see if it still turns over ?

I worked with upholstery for years. I always found any fabrics colored brown usually had a nasty odor. I heard it had something to do with brown dyes. I'm not sure what they use in brown dyea but now think maybe it has to do with rat urine...lol. Also I believe the Centurion replaced the Wildcat series as the sporty performance model for the full sized Buicks in 1971 - 1973.

Your dedication is admirable and the car looks great! Hats off to you! One thing to note, it is small but important. Black and white are not colors, they never have been colors although they are constantly mistakenly referred to as colors. Black and white are shades. This Centurion is now a shiny attractive shade, black.

You guy's did pretty good at getting those tires shined up. Id recommend getting some bleach white for those white walls. Does wonders for yellowing. My dad had this car when i was a kid it was candy apple red with hand painted pinstriping and had been supercharged. His had GT on the side under the mirrors near the front tires. Everyone thought it said CT for my dads name charles tribby but it was actually gt. Wish i still had it but at least i still have his old riviera

Hit the like at ripped PA vs! Lol. Tip; whenever you move a hinge (like the top ) or hood- hit the hinges with some penetrant oil first, or as soon as possible! Great find and great work.

P.s. since the top was so destroyed, you should have cut off the old cloth first, before moving it.
