    Cool drivetrain! Looks like it's a longer car that's been shortened.

    It was a hot rod; the VW next to it made 36 bhp. ;)

    Actually, it wasn't bad. I tested one in 1960, and it would easily keep up with traffic.

    Me too, but I've got a project on hold, another on the lift, and I shudder to think of time and money tracking down the parts to make it fresh underneath.

    That Packard is the sh*ts.
    That will make someone a real nice cruiser.
    If I didn't already have 2 “old” vehicles, I'd be on it.

    That would be a great entry for a young car person. Older people are probably wanting the V8 at 70s prices.

    Not craigslist but a few roadsides from my drive home from the show yesterday. I can get the number for the truck if anyone would like, forgot to take a pic of it.
