I figure this is the best place to find out what this car is worth in today market. 1937 110 or 1084 all orginal, has the six in it and it runs. Car is Complete it is on air ride right now but nothing was cut up to do this and can be put back to orginal. Any Ideas on Value
I purchased this 1941 110 coupe in New Mexico 3 years ago for $9,500.00. absolutly solid body with 1 dent in lf front fender great dint free stainles all around . no rust out any where just surface rust . has og int. with a seat cover over it. It's been painted once ,nothing missing except w/wiper arms.
I saw a 37 Packard 4 door sedan in Moltree Ga, a while back that had it's original body (no mods to the outside) set down on 70's cady frame and running gear. Wide whites on 16 inch crome spoke wheels. killer red diamond tucked inside (really plush car) jet black asking price was $85.000. sorry no photos but nice car.
PM the Highlander, he works with Packards every day. He can tell you values & would be a good source of info.
My book doesn't show either of those models for '37, but if it's a 115-C (six cyl) a 2-door sedan ranges from $5400-$12,500; that's #4 and #3 conditions respectively. If you put it back stock and it could be shown, but isn't perfect, it would rate the $12,500 - this book's about a year old, so I'd knock off around 20% from that for the bad economy, it's a 6-cyl Packard, not an Eight or Twelve.
Thanks you all the great feed back guys and Merry Christmeas to all. I just waiting on the guy to make up his mind on the trade will hopefully be going to get it next weekend. Now I just have to deicied what direction to go with it. any ideas????
The 2dr sedans are pretty hard to find. I'm not much for rodded Packards. That one's not too bad though, and if it can go back to OEM easy and is a runner/driver I'd say $5K isn't out of line. If I had one restored to Packard Club standards (not a cheap proposition) and wanted to sell, I'd start pretty close to $35K since they are hard to find. There's one here in my town that I've seen once. I've never seen one at a Packard Nat'l meet or other large venue. 110s are the bread n ****er cars, 120s are a bit further up the food chain, and the senior series cars are the top shelf stuff. It would be a shame to take one of those 2drs too far from OEM. Good lookin sled though...
All I know is that thing is *****in the way it sets. I agree I wouldn't cut up a Packard, but damn does that thing look good laid out like that.
this is my packard before and in progress, i bought it for 5000, i installed a complete 2005 corvette suspension includin motor and trans on air ride
Hell yeah Luckylou. really bad as coupe. I think If you had restored it to oem you could not recover the build cost . But this way it will probable be worth double what you could get as oem. jmo now mind you . I'm sure some packard purist will not agree but I really like it. I may do this one like it
thanks for the feedback everbody!! i'm picking up this weekend and will post some pics when i get her home. As for the mod i plan on keeping her just the way she is but with a new paint job.
From the FWIW dept, I gladly paid 10K for this: It's a 41 Model 1903, body type 1478. A 160 buisness coupe. The car was delivered 12-24-40 and ***led on 1-2-41. I know of 1 other buisness cpe. The plan is an OEM restoration, but the car is pretty loaded up with options. Radio, heater, deluxe bumper guards, leather, O.D. and sidemounts. I do plan to add an Edmunds dual carb get up and will alos make sure the stance isn't nose-down like most 160s these days. They're very fast in stock form, especially with the OD. Most club/show venues don't deduct for period accessories so the Edmunds won't hurt it. Enjoy, and happy new year...
The carburetor shown in the picture is NOT original to the Packard. Cannot tell exactly the model, but it appears to be from a Plymouth. The Packard six would be a 237 CID. The Plymouth six (if I guessed correctly) would be smaller. Carb may be too small to drive at highway speed. Jon.
