I am parting out a 77 Buick Century at the moment, the car only has 67,000 miles on it, and the door hinges are very nice. $50.00 a pair (upper & lower) shipped to you.
As for other makes models that will fit, any GM Midsize (Lemans, GTO, Grad AM, Buick Regal , Century, GS, Olds Cutlass, Chevey Chevelle, Malibue, Laguna, El Camino) from 73-77 will work. The front door hinges on 4-door's & Wagons are the same as 2 door hinges. I am not shure if the G Bodie hinges are the same, GP, Monte, cutlass supream, and the 76 & 77 Regals.

I believe that the G-bodies use the same hinge.

G-body hinges are easy to find, if I knew for sure that they fit, I would pick up a complete set. Anyone know for sure if they fit?

Also, even if you find some upper hinges with good rollers and levers on them, you might want to go ahead and install new pins and bushings in them before installing on your car, so they'll be like new. If you do that, I suggest you buy a door hinge spring tool beforehand, like the one at this link: http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/ta87675.html . Those springs are really hard to reinstall without a tool like this. I did mine not long ago and never did find a good way to get the spring back on the hinge without the tool. But I didn't have time to order one, so, after seeing the picture of the tool, I made something that works the same way and then it only took a couple minutes to install the spring. Better to just have the tool to begin with, especially since it's cheap

It never fails, I can find hinges for just about every model GM built, except the ones I need. Anything other than the G-bodies fit?

No.
1973-1977 A or G body hinges are your only choice.

TA-71,
The Century is going away on wendsday, as that is when the permit I have expires, if you want the hinges, let me know asap. I was not planning on removing the doors, and will need a cuple of hours to do so.

My car is already painted ugly green.
 Actually it is one of the few shades of green I can stand to look at. I'm not sure what the name of the color is, it is a dark green metallic. The inside of the trunk lid looks very nice.PM sent.
