GUYS!!! GUYS!!! Rare Buick Alert!!! NMNA

https://janesville.craigslist.org/cto/6117290853.html

Craigslist Dude said: An unusual car with a 3.8L V-6, and a 4-Speed manual transmission. It shows age and usage. The engine has a noise, but is still surprisingly strong. Offers will be considered.

Guys, this might just be one of the rarest A/G-Body GM cars ever. The Century Sport Coupes were super rare, and the take rate on a 3.8L V6/4-Speed Manual combo must have been even lower, making this probably the only one left. In 1979, you could get this with a 3.8 Turbo, but not with a stick. Add to the fact that it's a bench seat car, and, well...

HOLY MOTHER OF WANT!!!!!!!!

The bad is that the front passenger side headlight and turn signal is missing, but that's a minor detail, because I'm pretty sure those parts were shared with the Regal and the 4-door models.

Someone buy this and stab in a 3.8 Turbo!!!!

Why are all the cool cars so in WI.

Y'all really need to stop posting this stuff.

Wisconsin, the new Atlanta.

There's a reason that those cars are rare. It looks like a Citation on Prednisone.

I also kinda want it, but damn... I'm with Woody on this one. Holy cow is that ugly. I'd take it around to D.A.R.E. events as an example of why drugs are bad. "See kids? Folks in the 70's did a lot of drugs. This was one of the results. Design good looking cars. Not cars like this."

As I opened the thread I was surprised by the bench seat (not buckets) and even more surprised to read manual trans.

Wow. Even though I have no desire to buy it, I agree that's cool. I do remember seeing one or two of them back "in the day".

I'm a big fan of the "slantback" A/G Body coupes. I think they are different, in a cool sort of way.

The 4 door ones though... woof. My aunt had a 1978 Cutlass 4-door with the 260ci boat anchor when I was a kid. It was ugly and always broken.

Back when new, my oldest sister had this same brown 1978 Cutlass Salon with tan vinyl buckets.
It was cool for the time.

And what was old is new again...

In reply to Tony Sestito:

While it would ruin any collector value, box flares would turn this car into a winner.

Hmm... I am going to be down near Madison area next week.

Don't bank on Regal trim matching up. I don't think regular cutlass supreme trim matched on my Cutlass Salon, but it has been a long time since I had that car. Remember, the rear windows don't roll down either.

When they were NEW Circle Track Mag. Had one, Hoped up V-6 4 speed and it was turning Laps at watkins Glen or somewhere up north as Fast as the Cup Cars of the day, One I would Own any time and have alway's kept an eye open for one. But I think most are gone Today. someone get it.

Ha. There were two of the Olds slant backs in my family when I was a kid, both sedans. Our '79 Century was a wagon. Brown, of course.

Needs a cowl induction hood & bumper tuck.

There were a few built as late models and ASA cars.

... and it's gone

I have a hard time believing this would ever be a collectible. I've never seen a donk version, and those idiots will ruin anything.

I remember these when they were new and age has not helped these at all.

my jaw just hit the floor. Incredible find!

Tony, I'd totally co-drive that with you.

Co-drive it into what?
