Centurion Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Adam, I've enjoyed seeing the photos of your former '71 LeSabre sedan finished in the very attractive -- but rarely seen -- Twilight Turquoise.Not surprisingly, I immediately thought of you when I saw this '71 Centurion convertible on Ebay. The car is certainly not perfect and it's hard to say from the photos whether the color is correct or not, but it looks like it might be Twilight Turquoise with the Pearl White interior. This would have been an unusual color combination, but it's easy to see how striking this car would have been when new. In fact, it could be a great looker again without a great deal of effort.Enjoy!http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6144&item=2459715008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Absolutely I bookmarked the auction the first day it came out...I'm very anxious to see how much it goes for. I REALLY love the color combo on this car. It is very stunning. Sometimes I wish I had some play money to snatch this thing up...and to get my old LeSabre back. Man oh man...maybe someday I'll be able to clone my LeSabre with another as solid as it was. CURSED HAIL DAMAGE!!!!!Doing a side-by-side of the 2 green cars...

Smartin Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Ya know, that color looks AWFULLY close to this 72 GS350... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted February 13, 2004 Author Share Posted February 13, 2004 Adam, you're right. The color does seem pretty bright to be Twilight Turquoise, but colors can look significantly different depending on lighting conditions. Depending upon the "photo shop" work the seller did prior to putting the photos on Ebay, he may have also brightened the photos. It would be interesting to e-mail the seller to learn the car's body plate information, including the paint codes. But there's a good chance the car has been repainted an incorrect color sometime during the last thirty-three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old-tank Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 The listing said that the car is in Seguin,Tx,,,that's where I'm at. I sent a "question to seller" thru ebay and have not recieved a reply...maybe he doesn't want it looked too closely. I don't need any more cars but would glad to look at it for anyone interested.....Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 It is female owned, she bought it from a dealer a couple years ago who had it for many years. She replied rather quickly, could be away for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I finally recieved an email yesterday afternoon about the time I was leaving for work so I did not call her until this morning. The auction was about to end with no sale (it did) and I offered some other way to sell such as listing on the buy/sell forum. If anyone is really interested I will look at the car and give a report.Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurion Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 Adam, I'm glad you obtained the body plate information. Who knows? When the seller finds no market for the car at $7,500, the price is likely to come down.I agree -- this would be a dynamite color combination.
