When I was like 12-13 there was a blue malibu wagon in town that was pretty toasty but I still loved how it looked. Wanted a GN for my first car when I was 15 but didn't have 10 grand for one. Didn't know what a G body was I just liked both at the time.
Ended up building a drawthough cutlass that I slowly worked on in HS and finished early in college. Gets good fuel mileage, looks good, runs great, but is pretty slow.
Bought a 2+2 2 years ago. Had an LS laying around, horse traded some other parts, and that is basically done now.
Found almost all the lc2 parts I needed intending to swap that on my longblock in my cutlass but I couldn't tear that car apart. I put so much time getting the AC, wiring, ect to work as well as it does now.
I needed another project car like a fat kid needs a doughnut but I stumbled upon this mint 80 century wagon up in northern MN couple months ago. Real nice car. Virtually no rust, ran nice, interior is super clean. Had the 3.8 too. Plan was to daily drive it this summer and bolt the LC2 parts on the stock 3.8 and run like 5 psi until I built an engine next winter.
Drove the car 500 miles last weekend and found it gets 500 MPG on oil. It's thirsty!
So that moved the schedule up to now. Found a pair of 4.1's local. One was rebuilt and had a few thousand miles on it that was stuck. Other was a shortblock.
Now the plan is rebuild the 4.1 cheap, throw the LC2 stuff on it and run with the stock th350/10 bolt until I want to turn it up a bit.
