1983 Buick Century - Regal T-Type/Grand National custom

455 and looks like quality body work. I wish he would have utilized a T-Type paint color, I've always liked the silver paint against the blacked-out trim. I really like the car, but not orange.

Interior is stock Century, a Grand National custom interior would've been an arm and a leg.

This would definitely turn heads!

As much as he tries to play up the T-Type and Grand National names I'm just not seeing it. It is a Buick wagon with the two door Regal front end and a paint job. Also, what is up with the A/C compressor mounting? Is that how Buick did it? And what accessory is missing from the top driver's side of the engine? The interior looks nice, but it's pretty plain jane and I'm not really digging the color combination with the orange exterior.

One thing I've never understood, but I see it all over the place is a car that's had a decent amount of work put into it and then they put the cheapest crappiest tires they can find on it.

I'd be curious to see what the reserve is.

 

That is how Buick A/C Compressors were mounted on the late 70's V-6's & 350's. I never owned a late Big Block Buick with A/C. But they tend to use the same or simalure parts so it may be correct.

I agree that the color does not work for me on this car.

 

IMO, you would think the engine compartment would match the "bling" the rest of the car has. hate the exterior colour also.....

 

Horrible color, there is a flourescent orange truck that is really nice IF it was another color and has been for sale over 3 years now and the only chance it has is a COLOR BLIND buyer lol.

 

I'd call it an ugly colored 1983 Buick Regal Estate Wagon

Being nonstock and heavily modified I'd say the starting bid should be the finish bid but was warned not to offer the starting bid.
So why have a low starting bid if it can't be bought for that price?

I see a junk yard drive train and an Earl Schieb paint job.

 

The OE Buick A/C compressor bracket looks decent even if the compressor is 5 feet from the engine. The brackets on the car for sale look like they were pieced together with spare parts by a 3rd grader. I'd drive this thing color aside, but I'd probably be annoyed very quickly at how much gas it uses.

 

And as you stop at every gas station along your cruise route to refuel you'd be annoyed by the comments about the crappy color.

A little under hood detail and just painting the AC bracket black would help. But 3rd graders can't legally buy spray cans of paint.
