The wheelbase is longer but why would the trunk lid be different?

Front end of the car is the same, rear is not usable much for body parts.  
Interior is sort of swappable.  Seats work if you can hook up the vac lines.  
Doors are almost the same.  Door cards work for both.  Rear suspension is not 
the same.

The idea is to have a screw around car that I do not need to learn all manner 
of parts and spec to keep on the road

Because the trunk is bigger.

longer, and I'm pretty sure the trunk lid is unique, so rear fenders probably 
also out.  Doors may be longer as well?

You should buy all three and corral them inside an oversized kennel.

 I am tired of screwing around with the 300D racing mess (LeMons) and will
 be parting it prior to the crusher.

 With that gone, I feel a void in my parking lot and think I can replace
 it with another Silver Star.  But which?  This is the current crop of
 contenders

 http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/5145798883.html

 http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/5150823305.html

 Now, recall that I have to get it on the track for under $500.  That
 means whatever I part from it can pay for repairs, but I have to come as
 close to $500 in the wash.  Not sure what all parts become spare on each.
 Not too into rust repair anymore, either.

I just need one to screw around with.  Three would irk the neighbors.   Three 
non running cars would really cook my goose.

The wagon would be good for hauling parts and home repair items

The SLC would allow me to compare the topless v. not topless.  I could also 
rally the SLC.  Having a twin allows me to source parts for both and take up 
half the shelf space on spares.  What I strip from the SLC, can help the SL
