I need it like a hole in the head but not passing up this super rare and ugly duck for $600. I was getting 87 Cutlass parts at an old salvage yard back in 2007 or 2008. I seen it in a fenced area of the yard and asked the owner about it. He said it belonged to a friend that was holding onto it cause he thought it would be worth a lot of money some day. Fast forward to today. I just happen to remember it this morning and drove over there. The salvage is ran now by some Spanish speaking guys that could not understand me. I went to a different salvage just down from it and got the original owners phone number. He said it is for sale and its $600 with the title. Then he told me the BAD news. It had an engine fire and the hood is warped and the plastic stuff in the engine compartment is melted. BUT, he had gathered parts from another turbo century and got the hood, heads, intake, carb, turbo, harness, inner fenders, fan shroud, etc. He said there's more parts but he could not remember everything. It sounds awesome so far but we'll see Tuesday. I just happen to know of another salvage that has a 4 door Buick Century aero. It will be cool owning the Olds Salon and a Century. I never liked the front end of a 78-9 Century aero. Do any of you guys know what would interchange? Like maybe 4 door Regal header panel? Anyone got any Century aero parts?
