Ohh for the love of Elvis would somebody, I say would somebody please save the dadgum Cadillac Dagnabbit!

 

Ringgold GA. The first two Packards we come acrossed.

 

That will make a neat car! It's amazing the hood ornament survived. They are pretty fragile.

 

65 Custom 300 , perfect to swap in hot hot FE and a 4 speed

 

Interesting, appears to be a '56 front clip from a senior series car, like an Executive, on a low-line '55 Clipper body. Still has one good tail light bezel on it, would be a good piece to save for a custom.

 

Ringgold GA, the third Packard.

 

sorry, actually 2 cars. Didn't realize it posted 2 pics.

 

Ringgold GA. Nos Packard quarter panels, and fenders. Never been on vehicles. Unfortunately exposed to the elements.

 

My buddy in HS (67-68) had a ex Ohio State patrol car his Dad got at an auction! It was a 66 Custom 300 4 door. It had about a million miles on it but it was a 427 with a C6, burned a little oil but we sure had a lot of fun with it until it blew up! Junked the car, he saved the drive train. Lost track of him after school and got to work for Uncle Sam for a couple years. Tried to locate him since for over 50 years now with no luck.

 

HMMMMMM it might very well be

Thanks Ill have to do some research on that .
I don't have much to work with if I wanted to use it for anything but its kind of cool .
my windshield mounts look different but the rest is very close

Thanks

 

@chevrolet50steve , did you ever get down there to check out the Aussie Zephyr ute ?

 

1925

 

Its very close but not the same .
were the windshield post mounts to the stanchions on the cowl are different .

Im not 100% sure the cowl and the rear half are the from the same vehicle
the rear might be correct but it looks a bit short .
I should get better pictures and do a separate thread on it some time .

 

2x '57 two door hardtops, 1x post.

 

Ringgold GA. Not enough for me to identify the year but the earliest Packard in the yard, that's still a car.

 

Ringgold GA, random parts, there's also. Busses full of awesomeness, he's still sorting.

 

Ringgold ga. Another not sure, this one didn't make it.

 

Somebody could use that '54 Ford front clip.

 

Ringgold GA. Yet another Packard....

 

Man, I could really use that door!!

 

You can wash the window if it's up or down!

 

Ringgold GA. And, another one.....

 

Ringgold GA, the last Packard, as we head back towards the front of the yard

 

Ringgold GA. The other side of the yard is full of oddball stuff, like this Desoto. A man purchased the grille, and hemi, the day before we got there.

 

Ringgold GA. I was in love with this finned Mercedes. Always wanted to sled one of these out. This one was unfortunately too soggy for me.

 

I haven’t been there down there yet,I’m finishing work this week so I will go and check it out and upload some photos

 

Ringgold GA. This poor Corvair was just a shell. No floor left. Someone was coming for the chrome the next day supposedly.

 

Nice to hear it sounds like at least some of these cars are getting stripped for parts.

 

He's trying to sort, and sell as fast as he can. The county is apparently putting the push on him. Problem is he has so much that he can't identify, in busses and sheds.
