In 1980 Motor Trend tested a 1980 Century Limited sedan with a 231 engine and recorded 19.8 mpg on their 73 mile test loop. Federal EPA rating was 20 mpg. Car was new and engine was not broken in.
For more than the last decade NADA has listed my car as a 4 door COUPE. Well, we all know there is no such thing as a 4 door coupe but evidently NADA does not. Also the top resale value NADA lists has been the same too for well over a decade and is stated at $1850. A total rust free lost in the...
My Fremont CA assembled 1979 Century carries a build date of 02/79 and the serial number is 138713. With the Turbo Coupe having a 17,500 lower serial number it makes sense to have an engine with a date of 1978. Nothing to be concerned about there.
Hey Hafrod,
I can scan the 1979 Century info that is in the 1979 Buick Dealer Advance Information book. It has the option codes and all the Sport Coupe and Turbo Coupe info. Plus colors, upholstery, etc. I would need an address to send it to.
Am I the only one here that actually bought my "G" [ was an A body when new ] body car as a used transportation car a long long time ago and is keeping it TOTALLY STOCK ? The original full wheel covers chewed up the original wheel rims from radial tire flex and were replaced with small caps and...
Thank you airboatgreg. I had replaced the original blades complete instead of just inserts and the wipers work smoothly before and during the knocking noise.
After I run the windshield wipers for around 5 minutes on my 1979 Century they start to knock right at the point where they reverse direction. This will continue till get to my destination. The next day they are quiet till running about 5 minutes then the knocking starts again. I don't seem to...
I looked back into mails saved from an old computer and found the seller. I ordered ventshades for a 4 door Malibu as they did not list any for a Buick Century. Got them and they fit ! I have had them longer than I thought - bought them in 2007. They sill have 1978 Chevrolet Malibu listed for...
I was not sure I was going to like them at first but after having them on the car for a number of years I am glad I installed them. Lowering the windows a bit in the rain keeps the interior dry. Occasionally a spider will move in under one and claim the space as his own but that is the only...
I sold a car to a buyer clear cross country. The buyer hired a moving company to transport it as they only had a 2/3 load of furniture inside their 40 foot trailer. Many movers are eager to fill their trailers on return trips when they are not full. He used a broker to find them.
