I have the first 1955 Packard built. It is a solid matching numbers car that needs restoration. Four door, loaded, some rust not bad. all original. Down in central Texas $3500. Side note it was run on propane for a number of years in the sixties. Mark 512-255-4556 I have driveline, seats and 99% of chrome.

I just showed the garage extraction pictures and comments to my son and asked his thoughts. He said, "yeah. that looks like a car that would show up here and one you would sell - after you washed it and polished everything."

Then I showed him the Packardinfo comment on price vs. odds of restoration. The price would certainly be more from me. If a buyer does not dig deep enough into their pocket to make a real commitment to ownership of the project the odds DECREASE. I would be committed to ask a high price for the sake of the car's future. That philosophy has been with me for quite a few years. And I have had to suffer some added profit, but it has all been for the good of the car.

If I lived closer I would probably scoop that car up at the bargain price. It would never be 3500 bucks again, that's for sure. Although I might throw in some rose colored glasses and a 20 year old ZZ Top CD.
