1973 Century Gran Sport listed as Skylark

Some people sure select the wrong category on ebay. This is a 1973 Buick Century Gran Sport and not a "1973 Buick Skylark or 1973 Buick GS Stage 1"

SWEET JESUS....They made a poor Century GS in Slime Mist........ICK!

 

They say that people who own cars that color are "kinda different" If you know what I mean....uzzled: uzzled: uzzled:

 

Looks to be factory color mint green for Buick Centurys (for 74's)o No:

 

That is a SHARP car:TU: :TU: Belongs to a board member:Smarty: :TU:

 

I'd like to see the V in the VIN!:Smarty:

 

I like it, would definitely own it but not for more than 16k. I like it. Bill

 

Seller added "No reserve" but with a starting bid of 20K

 

Sent the seller an e-mail to check out the deal...waiting for a response...

"The car is a 1973 Buick Century Grand Sport and not a 1973 Buick skylark or 1973 Buick GS Stage 1. Can you identify the vin number for correct matching engines. If the production is low I will BID at a lower starting amount. I have several 1973 Buick Century. My 1973 Buick Century 2dr has Vin U for a 455-4 dual exhaust engine with 400 trans."

 

Let us know what you learn. Whenever I see one of these for sale I always ask for the VIN. It's suprising how many sellers are too lazy or unwilling to list it. I don't get it.

 

I know green. I could live with the color. I have 2 Harvest Gold ones. (my son hates the color) Man I could buy 2 cars for that price. Only 6 years and the only 73 I bought at that price was the most optioned 4 speed. The rest were in the well Cheap. Thought we were in a recession? Nice if its V Bird. It has the S! emblems but those r easy. Even "T or U" is nice 7500 no more than that. Am I being to generous Jason? Not buying got too much to do

 

This was my car until 4 weeks ago. I did a total resto on it. It is a real stage 1 v code. It now has a 68 model engine. I traded it to him for a 70 gsx tribute. Tom is a great buick guy. I had over 35k in the car. The car used to be red and I went back and forth on the color which is the original green-gold poly it came with from the factory. Ed

 

did this car belong to Race Lutz at one time?

 

Yes it was his son's car back in the late 80's

 

when you said it was red that was the tip off! I remember this car well from back then

 

Yes lots of fun in high school days. I kept the 455 out of it and put it in the gsx. I rebuilt it and now it is around 550 hp.

 

Ed, the 73 came out great! Nice job.

So, your saying the engine in the 73 is a 1968 340hp 400?

Is this Tom Baker/ Baker Auto?
