    about twenty years ago i tried to buy this old packard he****...guy says nope,i'm gonna fixer up...well he didn't live long after that and i never thought about it again till i get a phone call asking if i still want it....hell yes i do..then it's yours and the price is right....so ***le is in my pocket and when the ground dries up..the neighbors will have a new subject to complain about.

    wonder what the little kiddies will think???? i'll bet they stay out of mu yard now.

    that thing is awesome great score , was a 29 in a salvage yard near by , but it was so far gone when i found it , it had fallen in on itself and the engine and transmission an axle where all that was left
     
  11. I'm dying to go for a ride in it. Sorry, couldn't resist that. I like old he****s. I know a couple of funeral directors in Georgia who have vintage he****s that they will use for funerals upon request. One has a '42 Cadillac and one has a '31 Model A (actually AA, it's built on a one ton truck ch***is).

    Man Ive allways wanted one of those. Too nice to chop up ,buut,allways modify. Theyres one in tombstone at "boot hill" I tried to get years ago. the old guy said replace it and its yours, then I go back to look at it and it had been burned.Its still there though. that one would take a HEAVY modification cause iffn its burned the playing field is wide open.

    Ahh, you're killin' me here with this he****! My wife would LOVE that! She's probably one of about three women on the planet that like he****s, but WTF, I'm good with it! We had one in the early '80s that I found in Belgium and brought it to the US later on!

    It looks super solid and pretty complete. Should be a cool project, I love Packard grilles.

    love those things, really cl***y and yours doesnt look too far gone compared to some i've seen. Great score..........keep it black and keep the flames and skulls away from it, they're so much more sinister when they don't have Halloween costumes d****d all over them.

    I agree.
     
  26. Two things come to mind. First, it's amazing that someone in the family remembered you were interested in it 20 years ago.
    Second, just tell the neighbors it's a very rare Packard Suburban prototype.
    Non car people fall for anything.
