This might have been a bad idea, BUT

Andebe doesn't have room for all of them so you can just ship the N78s to me.

That is a nice stash of rims! Good on you for finding that header panel emblem. Looking forward to this build. I think it will be pretty cool (like all your builds).

So I've been looking for a Buick console to swap the Century over to buckets and console shift. It is a bench seat column shift car. After scouring my attic and shed, I came across this very rare gem. I got this from an 86 or 87 Regal Limited years ago. I went back to get the seats a few days later and they had crushed the car. I'm wondering if I need another drivers side seat from a split bench G body to use as the passengers seat. I'm thinking about using this in the Century and leaving it a column shift. What do you guys think? I'm pretty sure I can find some universal flexible trim to replace the original warped and cracked pieces. The rest of the console is in fantastic condition. Anyone schooled in this funky Buick console?

I haven't seen one of those before but it might be RPO DE9-Console, front compartment, non-shifting. The seat RPO that might of been used with the consle is AS7-Seat, 45/45, front split. There is a 45/45 option for the '86 Limited. Since it is a Buick & still has that "old people" stigma, I would stick to a column shift. Keep it classy. ;)

I've heard talk and I think saw some pictures some time ago regarding that console. Don't know much more other than that yes it is very rare. I'm a pretty big fan of factory style buckets/console in a Gbody but that might be a good way to go.

Maybe a later year sourced cup holder placed in front of it? It would still have a factory vibe.

Maybe a Chevy console with the cup holder cover From Dixie or OPGI for that route. But that shifter-less console would look cool.

Finally met up with the guy this morning. I ended up getting the car for almost free. I have to body work his hood on a 63 1/2 Galaxy. He had it blasted and they warped the crap out of it. Going to do some metal surgery and get it in primer for him for the Century. He is bringing the hood tonight. Going to work on it tomorrow and Saturday. While he was looking at my Salon, he said he had some wheels I may be interested in. He goes into his shop and comes out with a Hurst 14" wheel from a 79 HO. He said he'd take $100 for the set and I could not get my wallet out fast enough. I ended up with a set of 84 T Type aluminum wheels, set of HO wheels, and a nice set of 14" chrome Buick Regal rallys all for $260. I think the T Type wheels are maybe one year only. I'll have pics tonight when he brings the hood and wheels. Here's a video I took of the Century which has sat in this spot since late 1990s.

is the fence included with the car?
