The Buick Century 60 Series was considered the “Bankers Hot Rod”.   It has the original 322 “Nail Head” V8 Road Master engine (255hp) along with the “Dyna Flow” automatic transmission and factory dual exhaust through the rear bumper.   It also has power steering. power brakes. power windows. power seats. wide white's. full wheel covers. Sonomatic push button radio and the factory deluxe lighting package including the trunk. under hood and glove box.

We've owned this car for about 6 years and have driven it everywhere.   Parades. shows. cruises. poker runs…you name it.   It's solid. reliable and a consistent trophy winner on a local level.   Fly in…drive it home.   72700 miles which I believe to be original.

A couple of important points…we bought this car because of the options and originality and the rarity.   After searching Buick web sites and blogs. talking to other Buick owners in the know. we've found that this car. with these options. color combination and early production make on one of a handful.   I haven't seen another one like it.

The car has new wheel cylinders. drums. stainless brake lines.   We rebuilt/replaced front end steering assembly along with power steering hoses and seals.   New muffler and tail pipes.   Upgraded original radio to AM/FM Bands.   New torque converter and a complete transmission rebuild.  We put an Edlebrock carb in along with a Pertronix ignition upgrade.   We have the original carb that goes with the car along with a plethora of additional OEM and NOS parts that also go.   The car runs. shifts and operates without issue.   Doesn't burn or use any oil. Never overheats.   Frame and body are solid.   The car is always garaged.

A couple of items that will need to be addressed. but are not deal breakers or hamper the car operationally…. Speedometer doesn't work. but the odometer does.   The lower left rocker panel has some minor paint bubbling as well as around the rear window some slight surface rust exists near the stainless molding.   No holes and no water leaking in. Also the clock and lighter worked. but I think I blew a fuse.

Look at the pictures…email me any questions you have.   This is a 58 year old car and there are NO warranties expressed or implied.   Shipping is your dime. but I'll assist you and your transport any way I can.

$1000 due within 24 hours with the balance due in cash or cashier's check within 5 days of auction close.   The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to pull the auction early.
