Thanks for the complement. Wow!! Sounds like you have quite a fleet of cool cars. Now, you know you gotta post some pics of your rides.
The '78 Century wagon with buckets and floor shift is definitely a rare piece. I'd love to see pics of that.
Appreciate it, and your most welcome, Thank you!...I will get some pictures of it soon and post them up. Actually its an oddity for real, its a woody wagon and is factory yellow. To me, the bucket seats and being a woody, shouldn't go in the same sentence lol. But its all original. Ill get some pictures soon! :)

Welcome to the site & to the elite three pedal club. Even though the Sagnaw is a standard duty transmission they can take some abuse. I have only used Vega/Monza units for the 3.11 first.
Thanks a bunch! And Thats what i figured too, because if its been in the Buick for the last 41 years, and its still in great shape, it must be a decent transmission.

I'm also looking forward to seeing pics. Not many wagons with buckets/console from the factory. And the woodgrain is a bonus on any wagon IMO.

Your so right! Years ago I was talking with a guy who knew all about our beloved A and G body wagons, he said he had documentation that stated only 6 had buckets with floor shift. I find that hard to believe to be honest, and i lost contact over the years with him. I have never researched it, but I will say this, I have only seen one other wagon with Buckets and auto on the floor in my entire life. Maybe someone at the time they were ordering it had a family and a midlife crisis all at the same time, hence the wagon with bucket seats and floor shift lol
