Vehicle Description

I have a 72 Buick Centurion Ragtop that should be classified as a COPO car just by the options it carries.
1 of only 33 special paint cars, 1 of only 232 special high performance 455 rag tops built in 1972, and 1 of only 48 with rare 3:42 posi rear! (Note: the Red 72 442 W30 4spd has been sold, Thank you!)

Original owner paid extra to have it painted a "Skylark only" color, Sunburst Yellow.
This special paint override code is listed on the buildsheet as well as the metal Trim Tag riveted to the firewall.
This is a 2 owner car, the original owner sold it in 74, then bought it back in 76.
Car is complete with factory buildsheet proving the rarity.

This car with this engine package is so rare, that the industry doesn't reproduce the gas tank for Centurion's with this Special High Performance 455 engine! I kept the original tank for repair/reference, but that's how few of these cars are out there. I have it running off an external bottle

Below is the complete build-sheet breakdown for this super rare Big Block Buick!

VIN: 4P67W2Y223xxx

ASSEMBLY DATE: May 23, 1972 at Wilmington, Delaware Pontiac-Olds-Buick assembly plant

Serious car, needs resto but runs and drives and is all matching numbers!
Real Deal. Last time it was registered was 30 plus years ago.

Thanks for looking.
