    I am moving and must sell this beautiful baby. The car is in fantastic condition for the year of the automobile. Paint looks great, no rust, always garaged. Recently tuned and oil changed. Runs great.
    You can see a walk around of the car here

    Only issue with car is the top motor needs repair. Top is in great condition otherwise

    Are the 455 emblems on the fenders correct? Good looking car although the colors wouldn’t be my first choice.

    The 455 emblems are correct, for 1973 only. The trunk lock cover is not correct however. I'm sure there are other inaccuracies but a very nice car none the less.

    Why on earth would they have an Uber sticker on the windshield?

    Good question; I can't imagine he'd make enough for gas money for that thing.
    Looks like a pretty nice car otherwise.

    He wouldn’t be allowed to run Uber in it, they have Specific model years and even models that are allowed to be used as Uber vehicles. It varies a little bit from state to state, but I think the oldest is 2001. They also have to be four doors. Odd

    Thanks for the info Brad. I wasn’t sure if the 455 emblems were correct, they reminded me of Pontiac 455 emblems from the same era. Did all of the Centurions have 455s? I thought I read that somewhere.

    71 & 72 had 455’s standard, optional in 73. The LeSabre convertible was dropped for 73 so the Centurion had to play to both the LeSabre buyer and the Centurion buyer

    I always liked my 73 Centurions, I let a Sherwood Green convertible barn find go way too early. Loved the 455 emblems in RED. On this one, the inclusion of the top giving him issues is troublesome. I distinctly remember when smart people tell me things (in writing). Adam Martin stated once the scissor style convertible top mechanisms were a bad design and once they went out of alignment, getting them right was nearly impossible.

    The car was posted almost a year ago and was a lead, not being sold by the poster.
