Victress C-3... the "Packwood Special" was sold by Les Dawes (owner of LaDawri Coachcraft) in about 1978 to an unknown buyer in pristine condition, and was re-discovered in Hemmings classifieds in 1985 in pretty sad state... stripped, and showing front end damage, the rear lighting and interior had been modified, and the "Sateen" silver paint was now primer with pin-striped flames. Porsche speedster seats, the 354 Hemi, C-Jag gearbox, all MIA. The car was being offered for sale by Peter Zobian ("Automobilia" in Cambria). I'm attempting to learn who had the car after Les sold it, and determine the missing history between Mr. Dawes, and Mr. Zobian. Car has probably never left So Cal... currently pending restoration. Any help very much appreciated! Rodney Packwood, Escondido.
Thanks, Scooter. Sure would like to know who had it when it went from pretty to pretty ugly. Sure glad it's been found, though. Rod
