Selling my 1956 buick century 4 door hardtop.  Powertrain: 322 nailhead the higher hp version original motor. It has 2 rochester 2g carbs built by dicks hotrod carbs. Pertronix electronic ignition conversion. Spin on oil filter adapter. Power steering and power brakes. Brakes work well as does the heater.  Great oil pressure.  Original 2 speed trans. Shifts well and doesn't leak.  The interior is pretty good. New vinyl seat covers front and rear. New custom made vinyl head liner. It got 2 small tears in it when installed that a put patches over(very small). New radio/CD player with 6 speakers and amp. I'd give the interior a 7 outta 10. Could use new weatherstripping around the glass. All gauges work except the speedo.  The body I would describe it as rough but solid. Which is the way I like it. The door handles have been shaved with a solenoid for the drivers door. The button is in one of the ports on the side. The rear trim was also removed. The way the holes were filled are not prettiest and could easily be done better. Newer dual exhaust. The tires are in good shape but they are not real white walls they were painted and the paint is starting to crack.  The bigger problems are it just doesn't run right. It'll start right up idle,but when you put it into gear it loses power and gets the occasional back fire outta the exhaust. Almost like a vacuum leak or timing? I really don't know.  One of the gas tanks straps has broken off. I have a replacement just needs to be installed. I also have 2" lower shocks and springs that come with the car. I've also included a vid of it running.  I'm sure I've forgotten something. Hopefully the pictures speak a thousand words. Any questions please ask. http://youtu.be/xzZeLhR0xiIOn Aug-14-14 at 02:32:30 PDT, seller added the following information: It has a 1954 buick grill.
