Went and looked at the 2nd Colony Park i found on Craigslist. Ended up buying it for $600 of his $750 asking price, and he is delivering it from Boston.
I need to wait til they are side by side for a proper comparison, but this one will probably end up the parts donor to the 87, as this has the less appealing motor, and is a much lower optioned car.
The most important part is the AOD, which shifts surprisingly crisply, so hopefully my transmission woes will soon be over.

That looks really solid for 600 but then again I live in Michigan.

It appears to have not spent a lot of time in the snow, but has the random rust/rot patches of a car that lived near the ocean.

It looks so good from here, I’m kinda sad to hear it’s just going to be a parts car.

It looks better in pics than in person , bit it is salvagable if someone wanted to put the work in. I’m going to offer it back up on craigslist complete less drivetrain before i strip/part it further if someone wants it as a project car.

If i was doing a drivetrain swap I’d lean towards triton v10 for maximum ridiculousness
