My new 1988 colony park

Took a few pics after I detailed her, then realized I didn't take any of the back passenger or rear cargo area!
But there she is in all her glory! She's smooth like glass now.

 

Call me biscuits and jelly! That thing looks good. I noticed something about the cp owners on here. For everyone that goes out, another one comes in. Good looking ride man!!! What do those turbine wheels look like up close??

 

It’s funny I think for the most part people on this site are pretty brand loyal. But, I really think the Colony Park, and Buick guys are the most fiercely loyal owners. We had both Country Squires and Colony Parks growing up. I love them both. We had ‘60’s Chevy wagons so i’d really like to find a nice ‘68. I just like em all.

 

Hey. You’re also kinda holding out... is that a ‘77 LTD parked back there too?

 

Yeah, Joe, you're holding out on everybody....

 

Ooooh you're close, its a '76 i picked up for cheap, it was another originally an old folks car, has the base 351m the fmx transmission...
Manual windows, bench seat... Only highlights is i got it off a teenager and his dad and they fixed up the engine together, runs like a top.
I rebuilt the front end and got it new tires, i was planning on using it as a parts car for the '73 NOPD Galaxie interceptor that I am very slowly restoring, so the ltd is/was a drive it around for the hell of it until i needed to rip it apart... The vinyl top leaks in two spots and the transmission had absolutely filthy fluid in it and the valve body needs to be cleaned since it hangs when it shifts...
You can't see it in those pics but in the garage is my '73 colony park that i need to take the heads into a machine shop to get checked.

 

She's a beuat! You sure scored on this one.

 

True! I'm from a FORD family, but somehow we wound up with a mopar in the mix. Every vehicle I own is FoMoCo, except for the Fury. And I love it.

 

Well you have to cut me some slack. The ‘75-76 models had the “halo” vinyl tops. They dropped that in ‘77. So I hope you can understand my “S.W.A.G.” On the year. Lol. It looks like a nice car.

 

Heres a better picture of it when it was clean, and not giving me issues.

The old man who had it before the kid (probably before the owner the kid got it from) smacked into something on the left while backing up, screwing up the bumper and ripping the chrome trim off and mangling the trim around the wheel... Eventually i plan on cutting it apart and parting it out for my Interceptor

Which when done will hopefully look similar to this

Now I will try and refrain from derailing my own thread further.

 

It’s your thread man! Annnnd I like where it’s going!

 

Feel free to start a separate thread in the station wagon lounge under the "Car & Truck Talk" sub-forum.

I'd love to see your progress on the Interceptor and that's as good a place as any to share it.
