I'll add a few FACTS to what has already been posted.... First, at around that era, I was working in a Buick dealership in upstate NY. Very familiar with the cars. Second, the model would have been a Centurion, which replaced the earlier Wildcat. This model was derived from using the slightly smaller LeSabre body with the larger Electra 225 engine. In this model year, it would have been a 455 cid V8. Third, Beginning in 1971, GM lowered the compression ratios on most of their V-8 engines to 8.5. This was done to accommodate the introduction if EGR, which was mandated by the EPA to reduce NOx emissions. This did fairly significantly reduce the performance. Hwever, by today's standards, you might find it somewhat quick for a 4500 lb. car. Also, this was the first year that had a catalytic converter on it.
