    NADA price

    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...

    Engine casting number shows 1978??

    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.

    Noisy wipers

    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...

    Ventshades or No Ventshades

    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...

    Ventshades or No Ventshades

    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...

    Recommendation (or avoid) for Auto Carrier?

    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.
