    There are many things wrong with this car,
    1) A/C? What A/C, no compressor, no evaporator, no extra vents in the dash
    2) 455? Smallest damn 455 I've seen (can you say 350.)
    3) Bumper filler is painted, should be black
    4) Headlight buckets are chromed and should have a painted section
    5) What's with the side trim?
    6) Where are the Centurion emblems?
    7) White dash? (Oyster came with black dash's) dye and paint job.
    8) Where's the wheel arch trim?
    9) Chrome radiator cover (actually looks OK to me)
    10) Snaps on the trim around the back of the roof.

    But it does have a passenger side mirror, and from the southwest you can hope for a rust free body.

    Also there is a buick emblem on the front of the hood. Correct me if im wrong but in 71-72 they had a Centurion emblem so i'd assume Buick did the same for 73's. I smell a Lesabre.

    There is a hood emblem in the same spot that is all chrome of a Centurion helmet, not the Buick tri-shield. I tried to get a better look but can't be 100% sure what that emblem is on that car. If its a tri shield its wrong. Also missing are the fender badges of Centurion and in 1973 with the optional 455 engine there should also be 455 emblems directly below the fender Centurion emblems. In '73 the VIN will tell you if it is a 455 car or the standard 350 engine.

    I'm not knocking it if it is a valid 455 Centurion. It is a nice ride, not my taste though.

    He's updated the description now to say it's a 350 car.

    It has the Buick tri-shield emblem on the hood too, not the Centurion head.
