Four 71 centurions sitting in a yard somewhere??? That must be some kind of record I think.... There are a lot of other stuff people are after that might be availble. In what part of the world are they located? Actionhank99 needs fenders + hood Probably a few people after big valve heads and posi's
Centurions Yes, It is true 4 in one yard. I am located in Montana. If any one needs parts let me know. Thanks Gil Buickgil@aol.com
Just found this out Adam, technically your looking for the wrong steering wheel center. The deluxe steering wheel is the "rim blow" wheel and the wheel you have is the "Custom steering wheel." :Smarty: Nevertheless look on all Centurions, Electra 225s and Rivieras because it was standard on them. Available on Estate Wagons.
That rallye one looks interesting... I bet there's just tons of them floating around right... So regarding the four centurions.. If you're ever out there at the yard again, see if any of them is a no a/c car, I'm after the plate that would sit on the firewall where all the a/c stuff is usually mounted. Is any one of them a posi by any chance? I think actionhank99 is after a good set of fenders and a hood. I'm also missing one of the fender "centurion" emblems. They're a pain to get out, so see if any fender has been taken off and is just laying around. Many thanks
Adam: I checked the cars out at the yard. I can come up with a very good set of trunk stainless(3 pieces) plus the extension sections. Cost for all of it would be 110.00 plus shipping. Let me know. Thanks Gil.
Kimson: All cars are air cars. I can get a fender emblem. Have good fenders and hood also. I will check for posi next time over. Also have a 73 Centurion 4dr. Thanks Gil #406-222-7586
Ok guys...cancel the callfor parts!:laugh: I bought a really nice blue 3-spoke sport wheel at the swap meet in Batavia this weekend. It will look much better than the black 4-spoke Olds wheel. Thanks for all the help in looking though:beer
Ok I will give you a price! Fenders are 200.00 each plus shipping. Hood would be 200.00 also. I am in montana and you are in Texas. Shipping would be a killer. Thanks Gil
ActionHank99 you're just gonna have to make it to the yards yourself it looks like. I could probably pull some fenders and a hood within reasonable time, and for a reasonable price, I think they're like 35$ each here. But then the shipping would just eat its way into the stratospheare.. You don't have any yards where you live?
For fast and cheap shipping of large parts, use Greyhound!!! I sent a pair of fenders and a bunch of other parts from Texas to Rhode Island, it cost something like $60, iirc.
Shipping Yes, I have used Greyhound also. They do a great job for about a third of the cost of UPS. A hood may be too big to go by bus. Thanks Gil
Greyhound's size/weight limits are: Max length = 6 feet Max weight = 100lbs. I don't know about width, but I think as long as it's under the 6 foot max...
My buildsheet says Deluxe wheel.. Option N30...I don't know what the sales code is without looking it up............... http://www.buickcenturion.com/1971/adam_m/adam_buildsheet.jpg I got that picture of the steering wheels out of my 1971 Trim book. Where did yours come from?uzzled: Misprint?o No:
