Welcome to the forum!! The color is Sonic Bronze and is a fairly uncommon color. One of my favorites for the 79 model year! Will be great to see the car restored. Did the previous owner provide any of the car's history? Any idea of why it was parked and for how long?

The SA's have a special place in my heart. They are incredible once they are restored. My 80 is a one owner car and is mostly original. Theres just something special about the early cars. Yours has a lot of potential no doubt! Again, welcome to the forum and congrats on your new SA!!
Here's a picture of my 80 LS.

Didn’t get much history on the car sadly but still very excited for the build seeing if the engine turns today so should be interesting after sitting 10 years!

Motor sitting for 10 years

Any ideas of a way to try to break loose a engine that’s been sitting 10 years? Something to put in the plug holes maybe? Or down the carb? Any ideas is helpful thanks!

Seems as though you are ready to move into the 1st Gen tech section. We don't get in depth with diag and repairs in this section unfortunately, as this is an intros section. Your tech questions are best directed to the 1st Gen Tech Section. But to point you in the right direction, I have had good luck with either Marvel Mystery Oil or ATF. Both down the carb in in through the spark plugs. We can go further in depth and explanation in the 1st Gen section.
