The 2 dr sedan is a kinda rare car. If its in good condition try not to chop it up too much.
I have a 40 Century convt.
If you end up with the car check out the Buick Street rodder club, A lot of 40's in that club, running with 425 & 455's

I have a 40 Super convert that I have had for 32 years. It has been restored twice( the last time in 1988) and has taken my wife and I over 100,000 miles. The old straight 8 is just as reliable as a later engine, ubt it's tough to find parts for.

I am in the process of building the same care with the same engine-trans combination and would be glad to share what I've done and how I did it.
