Just drug this old Clipper out of a barn for 100 bucks. Complete car, motor was stuck from sitting but after pulling the head and pouring in a little ****** fluid, 2 days later she broke loose. Still haven't gotten her running but it shouldn't take much. Spent about 2 days cleaning mice and turds out of it but the interior turned out to not be totally roached. What do you guys think? I feel like I did pretty good! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
You stole that thing! Dang! Drive the wheels off it, throw some black paint on that red oxide, or use oven cleaner to remove it back to the original paint, and you're done!
I'd gladly give you $100 for it . Awsome you got the motor un-stuck... I say get it running, and try to put the paint back to all original and run it like that!
Overall it's pretty solid, the drivers side rockers are literally gone so ill have to patch something up there. Aside from that though, I couldn't p*** it up. The guy said it was either I come get it or it was going to the s**** yard. Now we couldn't let that happen so it's squeezed in with my other 2 projects haha hoping to get it running before the upcoming frog follies. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Packards are the ****, my friend. You got a great car. They just look so damned elegant up close. Great score.
I helped a friend drag this one out of a widow's garage last summer. He paid considerably more for it. He's restoring a 2-door model and has several parts cars if you need anything. This Packard was parked next to a '37 Ford two-door sedan in the same condition that sold to an unknown buyer before we got there for $3500. A coupl days later Dad called me and told me he was helping a friend drag home a '37 Ford from the same town. Small world. I told him where to dig for extra Ford parts. We sorted out all the extra Packard parts and left the Ford parts in the shed.
This is what she looked like when I pulled it out. Definitely looking pretty rough haha Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Just last week I took a s10 blazer that had no motor or trans to the s**** man and got more then double what you paid, and I also got two newused tires for my trailer.
I'm with Fourspeedwagon. That offset T steering wheel is so cool! You've got to show us progress from time to time. That's got to be the best score I've seen in years. Congratulations.
