-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I own a black on black TEXAS 1972 Buick Centuiron convertible-same as the lesabre but with more options. It has 38K orginal miles, power seats, windows, breaks, steering, antennea and top. It has a rear glass window and "THE TWO PEICE FIBERGLASS PARADE BOOT" IN PERFECT CONDITION. It has a 455 X 4, which was hopped up to 450HP by Peterson High Performance in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I am the second owner and I only put 4k miles on it since 1991. Alot of good the boot does as the top motor is not working so I am looking to buy one that works. The top motors for most full size GMs from 71 to 76 will work so if any one out there knows where I can get one please contact VIC at one of the following: HOME 262-552-9436 CELL 262-945-7312 EMAIL LIONGATE@ACRONET.NET BOTH PHONES HAVE MESSAGING SO KINDLY LEAVE A MESSAGE IF SOMEONE DOES NOT ANSWER AND i CHECK MY EMAIL ALL DAY. Thank you kindly for reading my post.
Vic, these websitess sell new motors: www.convertibleparts.com www.hydroe.com Now, would you consider registering your 72 with me?:grin: www.buickcenturion.com
i have several extras and could be persueded to sell one. do you need just the motor with the gear plate? or the motor complete with the gears? .... gears are what really pumps the price up ..
72 Full Size Buick Convertible Top Motor The gears are in great shape. The white wire came off of the winding or armature in the motor near the bottem. So if I try to grind and remove the welded plate I probably will not be able to re-attach it plumb or true. So I need just the motor. I have an extra power window motor for this car and a bunch of other items. I am also looking for the passenger side door chrome strip as the black plastic filler has been misplaced. What do you need to get for one of the motors?
Your Top Motor I WILL TAKE IT. I WILL THEN HAVE MINE AND YOURS WHICH SHOULD PUT ME IN A TOP DOWN POSITION. IF YOU HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS I CAN SEND THE MONEY DIRECTLY TO IT. EMAIL ME AT LIONGATE@ACRONET.NET. I WILL RE-READ YOUR MESSAGES AND GET THE FUNDS OUT. VIC
postal money orders are my only currency for selling parts. that way i can cash the money order at the post office, use some of the mula to pay the shipping/insurance, and be on my way. :TU: those wires can plug into the relay without the plastic piece, but then they would be unprotected and subject to shorting on "who knows what" in the future. if you dont know how to properly pop your old wires out and the the new ones in (dont get them mixed up) , find a local car stereo installer and grease his palm with a 5 and he will probably be more than happy to do it.
