1905 Packard on a 1905 Packard

I subscribe to at least a dozen what used to be called car and motorcycle 'magazines.' My wife subscribes to about half that many as well. Given the option, I take the hard copy every time, and I read it, not the on line link. I always thumb through each paper edition, usually after dinner, in a recliner with my feet up.

How many besides me checked the math?

Bid to $40.5k. Reserve not met.

I need to head home before this last beer gets into my bloodstream.

Bidding closed at $11.5k. Did not meet reserve.

Once it's been impounded, arguing with a Custom's officer is a waste of time...unless you can come up with additional supporting paperwork. Otherwise, the only recourse is with a lawyer, through a judge.

Agreed. It probably could be made to run with less work and $ than a lot of the other cars being advertised lately. But with 6 days to go, it's bound to go much higher.

I was thinking somewhere between $35-40k...unless bidders get cold feet because of the numbers issues. If it is legit, the seller would be far better off right now to get a picture of the frame number and post it. Sure would be a b*tch to spend whatever for it and have it 'repossessed' when trying to register it.

Here's another unusual one. This Tucker was one of 5 made for the movie: Tucker: A man and His Dreams. It was painted several different colors for different scenes in the movie. It's built on a 1974 Ford LTD chassis, with brakes, steering, and suspension, but no drive train. The driver's door is the only one that opens. Not a whole lot of interior other than a seat, steering column, brake and accelerator pedal. Lots of spray-on expanding foam showing, which was used as a filler to mate the fiberglass body. It was displayed at the 2018 Tucker reunion held in Pebble Beach. With six days to go it's bid to $4k. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1948-tucker-model-48-movie-car/

Wife? Kids? Neighbor's dog?
