Restoration on the Packard was completed in 2009, and the paint still looks great. It appears that all the body panels on the car are steel and original. There is no evidence of bubbling, rust, or cracking in the body. All the exterior chrome was redone and in good to excellent condition. The glass is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. Windows go up and down easily. All exterior lights function.

The interior is beautiful and redone in the original style of wool broadcloth and wood grain finish on the dashboard and trim. The Packard was converted to 12-volt and uses aftermarket fuel and tachometer gauges. The factory speedometer/odometer, oil pressure, and water temperature gauges function. The clock, radio, and original fuel gauge do not.

Other upgrades on the Packard include a hydraulic clutch, seatbelts, electric fuel pump, third brake light, thermostatically controlled electric cooling fan, and turn signals.

The chassis and suspension were restored as well including new shocks, tires, brakes, and bushings.

Please note that it was recently discovered there is a ‘hair line’ crack between 2 cylinders in the engine block (see photo). The Packard will start and run, as evidenced in the video, but as it comes up to operating temperature it will stall at idle and begin to overheat and leak coolant. The engine was rebuilt again by the current owners in 2011. The block was decked and a thicker head gasket was added to try and stop the leak, but it persists.

There is a complete notebook on the history of the build, with receipts and notes on all the work performed on the Packard from when the restoration started in the 1980’s to the present.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

While we do our best to provide quality cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. We have not built, modified, changed, or personally owned this vehicle. Even though this vehicle is being sold by Kurzmann’s Auto Brokerage we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we do welcome 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories, and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 20 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 12 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles on the internet without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
