i'm actually thinking of picking up a 4 door in the near future, and making it my daily. They are much cheaper to find, and i learn my lesson when i had my pride and joy wrecked.
Nice to hear of some more 4 door fans out there. I think they can look great when done up nice and are quite a bit more original than the much more common 2 doors. (In my city anyway).
By the way, the 83s have "rubix cube" or "phone pad" looking tailights, and the 84s have a more plain dual bar light.
Get some pics if you have em.

Four doors. Nothing wrong with that. Useful cars....ask the Aussies!
Excuse the Buick in the Olds section, but they are dang near the same car.
I used to have this Century. 1981 If I remember correctly. I bought it for my wife 'round 93. It was a rusty blue car, but it had a great frame and a good running 231 V-6.
I added a set of 14" rallyes, and a diesel exhaust that had dual outlets. Minus the converter, the car had a nice sound. I painted the bottom of the car a lighter blue, and I sandblasted and painted the bumpers to match. I added new bumper plastic, which was still available from GM back then. I separated the colors with a thick, lighter blue pinstripe. I only put one emblem back on it, the Century one on the decklid, and I painted it light blue to match the stripe. I added dual sportmirrors, and I blacked out the grille and headlight bezels while leaving the chrome edges. All in all, it turned out to be a very nice and reliable car. Sadly, I sold it a year later for a nicer, low mileage Caprice, which became the worst car we ever owned. We miss the Century to this day.
I hope this is inspiring, because it really takes little work to make one of these sedans attractive. Good luck on yours!

I had an 81 that was maroon. Mine had a totally different grille and had only 2 headlights. It was like that of an 80 Cutlass 4 door, but instead of the "checker" grille it was only horizontal bars.
