This is going to be fun to watch...not the cat orgy part.

I'm guessing it runs and drives now. I mean you've had it home for several hours and at what seems like a normal pace for you it should be roughly Barrett Jackson quality by tomorrow morning.

Seriously though this is a cool project.

Way cool project.

fantastic find. love the history lesson this car provides leading up to the t-type.
there is no option code sticker on the inside of the trunk. that didn't start till approximately mid 80's. but you found the broadcast sheet,(build sheet), thats the holy grail for this car. all option codes are there with their explanation specific to that year.

1984 was the first year for the RPO label under the trunk, but finding the build sheet is even better...
Looking forward to following along!

I think I've said it before, this is going to be great to watch you bring this one back. The more I see of this style, the more I want one!

Hey Hafrod,
I can scan the 1979 Century info that is in the 1979 Buick Dealer Advance Information book. It has the option codes and all the Sport Coupe and Turbo Coupe info. Plus colors, upholstery, etc. I would need an address to send it to.
