I’m guessing that picture is circa 83/84

I was just starting the transition from my mom dressing me to having girlfriends dress me.

Me standing in front of a any car makes it look cool. My only regret was not taking more pictures when I was a kid. I went through a lot of cars, most of them interesting now if not then.

You can try asking these guys: https://minervacars.com/

Wasn't Damiler the car used by the Royal family forever?

Since you guy are talking about Damiler, here are two of the coolest ones. https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/17327/lot/260/

Steve, the 76 is the one you want with the fuel injection and disks all around. Although I'm sure the 71 had 100 more HP. I drove a 71 convertible that my aunt gave me for a year when I was 18. I've told this in other threads, a great story I have of the Eldorado was on a double date standing with my girlfriend at one of her friends house. The dad was admiring my car and my girlfriend's friend blurted out "You can lay flat across the back seat too!" right in front of her dad. Allow me to post this picture of my girlfriend and I with my mom's 74 in every Eldo convertible thread.

My take away is the stock Firebird styling was pretty good if this is what it looks like "improved". If you were a professional designer, wouldn't this bother you?

Yes. Wayne and partner bought it from estate, ended up selling it at Gooding. Went to a guy that loves original cars and sleeve valve cars.

Here is a 41 180 with a Rollson Custom body for 60k in the same condition. https://www.tomlaferriere.com/listings/1941-packard-custom-super-eight-one-eighty/

Depends on the state you are in. Each is different with completely different sets of rules. I will say that having an "open" title from some previous owner is not that rare in the collector car world. But it is dangerous if something happens to that piece of paper.

Maybe the nicest non 428CJ Mustang I have seen in the 69-70 vintage. Having owned Mustangs and Shelbys I know a bit about them. This checks every box but the CJ one which is what makes it really unique. https://www.ebay.com/itm/164840506555 We are excited to offer this absolutely fabulous rotisserie-restored 1969 Mustang Mach 1 for sale.

This is a true Ford collectible that will surely please the most astute Classic car collector.

I forgot to mention that door handle. A drooping one is never a good sign.

We sold my mom's red on red at one of the Hershey auctions. Maybe 15 years ago? Not a bad car and I agree with Steve on the proportions.

Cool car but they will never get that kind of money with the water pump looking like that. A 40-42 Super Eight Packard is a GREAT tour car. And there are 5 Cadillacs for every Packard. Somebody help me, I thought the only difference between a 180 and a 160 was the trim. What trim would a 180 have that this doesn't?

Look at the money he saved from not taking new pictures. That car will find a home around 5k, assuming it runs.

That is because Pebble and Amelia need to be the first shows a car goes to after restoration.

I guess they built 23 of these originally and there are 5 known to the Lincoln club. Here is a nice one with sidemounts that Gooding failed to sell at Amelia a couple of years ago: https://www.goodingco.com/lot/1932-lincoln-kb-coupe-two-window/

Seller posted pictures like it was $100 each to put them up. Depending on the engine shots and the underneath might not be a bad car. 15k buys the best one in the world.

I like the Dual Spare idea, but not sure the carrier will support it. There are a couple of 845 Packards with the dual rear spares that look pretty cool.

If you want to sell them yourself, take a pile of pictures and put a really detailed description specific to each car together. You can advertise here and also the HCCA is very good place. If you are looking what to ask, post some better pictures here and you will get solid if not a bit tough advice.

Never has.

Location is important too. We had a really cool car available on the forum here but it was tucked in to a corner of Idaho that was unreachable 1/2 the year. He had a hard time selling it, even at a reasonable price.

Selling cars is a pain in the rear end. Consigning the collection to an auction house or reputable dealer will net you the money in the easiest fashion. If you want to sell each car yourself then start an individual thread here on each car with lots of pictures. The forum members will coach you up. As a heads up to set expectations, prepare to get 40-50% of whatever your dad thought the cars were worth. Good luck.

There are 9 known Royale convertible coupes. I don't think you can get one for under 100k. The green one sold in that vicinity but it was by far the cheapest sold in the last 10 years.
