    Finally got it.

    I had waited so long for him to get the title in, that I looked around for other cars. My neighbor sold me his '83 Datsun 280ZX turbo on Friday. But realizing we only have 1 running car now, wanted another so my girlfriend could drive a car too, as that was the reasoning for looking at the Buick in the first place.

    So now I gotta find a home for my other 3 cars. :pp

    Forgot to post this- a set of pictures the previous owner posted online. Paint is a bit faded and rough, but it'll do for now.

    Does it do a burnout?? Cause if it does, its cool by me (even if ya do have to put down bleach to do one) :laugh:. Looks like a cozy car, all ya need is a built 455 and some 3:64 gears and you'd have amongst the best sleepers on this site!

    Hey Doug,
    Would you be interested in registering your car in the 73-75 registry? I have been compiling all kinds of info on the Century and Century GS cars and could use all the help I can get,I will send you the papers that I have had other Century owners to fill out and you can return them to me,that is if you are interested.I will let you know that any and all personal info about you and your car will not be handed out without your permission.I am just trying to collect as much data on these cars to help all who own these cars.If interested you can pm or email me your adress and I'll get it out to you this week.My email is pdharmon@tds.net
    Thanks,Pat

    It won't do burnouts right now. If you give more than a little gas, it chokes and sputters. But that little that you can give is plenty enough to keep up with traffic.

    Both my fiancee and I have managed to spin the tires around a wet corner a time or two though. She kinda worries me because instead of letting up on the gas, she just pushed more. I did too the first time in my RX-7, so it's understandable going from a FWD Tempo that couldn't spin the tires to save it's life, to a RWD V8.
