Check out what the cat dragged in this time!!! Really cool car lots of aluminum parts too! These things are non existent so when I saw this one come up on a Canadian gbody page I didn’t hesitate to be serious about things and the guy actually held the car all winter for me finally picked her up today! Home and scrubbed looks good when wet haha. Now she ain’t no show stopper and has her rust but it’s a salable car for sure! Full vinyl top roof and a pillars! Landau type style. 5 L. engine (or 305 ci) 2 bbl!
Here’s a few pictures but watch me on YouTube “Gbodyjames” for a more in-depth look at the thing. once I’m done editing the video I’ll post it up with the others!!

Wow that’s awesome
Sport coupe were not the same as the turbo coupes as far as I know and actually in 78 there was not a turbo coupe I think that started in 79 if I’m correct?? What a cool find buckets manual car I wonder if it has the Buick 3.8 or Chevy 229 3.8.. gotta be the Buick I’d assume. She’s rough but still a cool find.
As far as the sport wagons I’ve never actually even seen one on a video or real picture on the Internet I’m not sure if they even got built at this point but I have a original brochure and it shows that car in there as an option those things must be super rare

I’ve seen a couple Sport wagon’s online now, so some exist but yea, rare. Plus that one that was used in a movie when they were new.
