  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    That's a very interesting Centurion. He says it was originally Burgundy, but repainted in yellow, eventually covered in primer. That's why you see yellow in the door jambs.

    It has a passenger side mirror with the remote in the dash. The dash shows a speed alert but the control knob isn't visible. It lives in the little window below the clock where the mirror control is now. My guess is the mirror is not original. He says it came with a thermometer on the mirror that he has in the glove box. Never seen one of those.

    The speedometer has a silver background, original is black. I think the later 70's LeSabre's came with the Silver.
    It has the vigilite indicators on the fenders, automatic climate control and power seats. So it seems pretty loaded.

    The power window and door lock switches are on angled "pads" that aren't original. They look more convenient than the 4 in a row set up I have, but you'd have to check how the wiring was modified.

    Huge hole where the stereo was, this also means the plastic behind the face plate is cut out also. The last picture shows the face plates painted black, which I don't think is an improvement.

    The steering column shows a Cadillac wheel in early pictures, he mentions it telescopes which is a Caddie feature. The turn signal lever is missing and there's a chunk missing at the bottom of the column.

    Looks like a solid body, engine looks very clean, the stance is nice with cut coils but driveway entrances and speed bumps could be a challenge.

    I've been watching the price of these cars for a while and it's amazing what happens when a car crosses the 30 year threshold.
