1940 Packard Super Eight Additional Info:

1940 Packard 160 Super Eight needing full restoration. Should run and drive now, but I have not started for a year. I have driven this car on and off over the last 25 years. Sleeved brake cylinders, turn signals, driving light. Rust out around rear fenders, noisy transmission bearing, and play in accelerator linkage will need attention. I have most parts from an identical partscar including extra super eightengine and overdrive transmission, better rear fenders, and a ton of parts that are included in this auction if buyer wants them. Will assist loading on trailer, or will deliver locally. Clear title in my name.

This is a powerful senior classic Packard and because of the independent front suspension and other modern refinements such as hydraulic valve lifters, it is a joy to drive compared to older Packards while retaining the classic Packard body style. This is a good winter project car and a great investment for restoration. Reasonable reserve.

Additional information: this car briefly flooded up to the running boards about 10 years ago. I found no damage. The transmission tail shaft bearing noise did not show up until last year but could be related. I rebuilt the transmission in about the year, 2000 replacing gaskets, seals and other parts as needed. Parts were not expensive as I remember.

I have about 10 extra doors from 160 and 180 models (chrome around the windows) as well as 110 parts including an engine block/crank, grille, radiator and misc. These are included at buyers option if buyer wants them. Doors are in poor condition, but could be utilized, and lots of good parts.
