| 1974 Buick Century Luxus |
| This 1974 Buick Century Luxus definitely has no shortage of vintage curb appeal. Its standout look combines the lengthy wheelbases and long hoods so many coupes of its era had, with decidedly more formal exterior styling than a number of its rivals. You just don't see too many of its kind around anymore and there's a good reason for that. Buick's Century model only got the Luxus treatment for one model year and nearly all of the recipients of that treatment have long since fallen by the wayside, so this sharp classic represents a unique opportunity. When you factor in this Luxus's appealing color that combines with clean exterior brightwork and its robust big block power, that opportunity becomes even more enticing. The tan interior really presents well, with seating in both front and back that shows only the slightest of wear, along with carpeting, door panels and headliner that are equally fresh. The front buckets straddle a center console that has been outfitted with USB ports and houses a shifter from what is likely a later model GM car, with a Grant steering wheel now perched on the tilt column above. These aftermarket touches, along with upgraded LED lighting, add a bit of customization to an interior that is otherwise in very clean factory condition and, in fact, still includes the original AM/FM/8-Track stereo at the center of the dash. Raise the hood and you'll see that this Buick's expansive engine compartment has been put to good use, with a sizable 455-cubic-inch V8 holding court at its center. The engine was rebuilt not that many miles ago, with receipts on hand to back this up, and is fed by a four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor perched on a stock intake manifold. Tap on the gas pedal, and the big block will emit just the right note out of the pair of Flowmaster mufflers that cap off its dual exhaust. The accompanying 3-speed automatic TH400 transmission is also in solid working order, shifting through its gears cleanly. Power steering makes this substantial cruiser easy to maneuver, while power brakes that include discs up front provide confidence-inspiring stopping ability. An upgraded aluminum fan is now positioned up front to help keep operating temperatures under control.
