1976 Buick Century
Offered for sale is a well-preserved 1976 Buick Century, a standout
example of mid-'70s American luxury and smooth cruising comfort,
now enhanced with a performance upgrade under the hood for an extra
dose of modern muscle. Finished in Independence Red Poly (37) with
its long, clean body lines, semi black vinyl top, chrome accents,
and unmistakable Buick styling, this Century delivers the smooth
ride and timeless presence these cars are known for.
Under the hood, this Century packs serious punch with a modern LSX
5.3L EFI V8 paired to a GM 4L60E automatic transmission, delivering
dependable power with today's drivability. The 5.3L was fully
rebuilt and upgraded with numerous performance internals, along
with a complete EFI conversion and upgraded intake manifold for
crisp throttle response and reliable performance. A BTR Stage 2
LS1/LS2 cam and Circle D 3000-stall converter bring the attitude,
producing a strong, aggressive pull and a deep, unmistakable
rumble. Supporting upgrades include a new driveshaft, fuel tank,
and custom-fabricated exhaust system, while a polished aluminum
radiator with twin electric fans keeps temperatures in check. The
engine bay was refinished and detailed during the swap, giving it a
clean appearance. It's the perfect blend of classic Buick comfort
and modern muscle performance.
It rides on 15-inch Retro black aluminum wheels wrapped in BF
Goodrich Radial T/A tires for an aggressive, period-correct stance
and confident grip. Power disc brakes up front paired with rear
drums provide dependable stopping performance, making this Century
as comfortable and capable to drive as it looks.
Inside, the spacious red velour interior brings pure '70s luxury,
with plush seating, a wide bench layout, and period-correct trim
that keeps the vintage vibe alive. A B&M performance shifter
adds a sporty touch and precise control, making every drive feel
connected and fun. The dash features a modern digital speedometer
paired with Auto Gage tach, oil pressure, and water temp gauges,
and an aftermarket stereo system adds today's sound quality while
maintaining the vintage feel.
Whether you want a comfortable weekend cruiser, a nostalgic daily
driver, or a classic with modern muscle that's simply fun to drive,
this Century delivers on every level. It fires right up, runs
strong, and combines vintage Buick comfort with surprising
performance that puts a smile on your face every time you hit the
gas. Affordable, unique, and packed with personality, this is your
chance to own a true piece of classic American iron with some
serious punch under the hood. Also included with sale is the
original Buick Century build sheet.
