Here is an album of the bike. It says "Cross Town" Centurion on the Frame. I've been looking it up everywhere for the past couple of days and I can't find anything from Centurion with that model name.

Upon closer inspection today, it has a made in Taiwan - designed in the US sticker. Does this mean it must have been an early 90's to mid 90's model?
Interesting.. that is an early hybrid or cross bike. Mountain bike geometry and components with 700c wheels. Based on the paint job I would guess 1989 or perhaps 1988. Centurion ceased to exist as a brand name in 1990; the company that owned the brand name merged it with their other brand Diamondback. So it's from the 80s for sure.

Value where I live might be between $150-$250 depending on how much work it would need
