*SOLD* I think in terms of bang for the buck, this handsome 1953 Packard Cavalier convertible (or is it a 200? Packard experts, please correct me because I can't seem to figure out which it is) certainly scores pretty high. It's a mostly original car with what appears to be just a single repaint maybe 15 years ago and good maintenance over the years, but I don't think it has ever been restored. It looks like it has always been a red car because I can't find any other colors in the nooks and crannies, and I do find the blackwall tires on this car rather appealing. It's interesting to note that this car is virtually identical to the $80,000 Caribbean sitting next to it in the showroom, as they share a body shell, engine, transmission, chassis, and even some of the trim. For what it's worth, the doors on this car close better than the Caribbean and they both feel like iron ingots going down the road--not a shake or a squeak anywhere. That's pretty impressive for a giant ragtop. The paint is decent but not amazing, with some orange peel and signs of use, but for the money, who cares? Get in and go, don't worry about it. Believe me, once you've had a car where you don't have to fret, you'll find it is extremely liberating. Another plus is the chrome, which is in mostly excellent condition throughout, with zero pitting or other issues beyond some polishing scratches, even in that giant grille. The spotlight is a bit scruffy, but I'm not counting that since it could be removed or replaced pretty easily, and the little tail fins out back are a bit faded, but I can't really complain since the chrome on my '41 Buick isn't any better. Plastic parts like the crests and taillights are quite nice, too. My gut says the interior has been reupholstered at some point, but it looks period-correct with the black trim and alabaster centers (not white, but not yellow, either). The carpets are definitely new and the door panels are crisp, including the chrome bits that look great. That's the exact same dash as the Caribbean, and on this car all the gauges work except the clock, which is nice. The steering wheel and horn button are not cracked or sun-baked and the engine-turning on the gauge panel is crisp and bright. The radio is not working, as usual, but the heater/defroster puts out decent BTUs and the older black canvas power convertible top goes up and down as it should. It includes a black vinyl boot that fits OK, but seems to need some snaps or something--there's hardware but it doesn't seem compatible. I'm obviously not thrilled with the red carpet in the trunk, but at this price I'm not going to fix it. It's not hiding anything and you can still get the correct fabric to make it look right--it's more than a simple mat change, but worth it in my opinion if you want to add some real value. There's a full-sized spare, a jack, and a little wooden shelf up front someone made to maximize trunk space. This Packard uses the same 327 cubic inch straight-8 that you'll find in the Caribbean, and it's just as silky smooth and torquey. In fact, I've had this car up to an indicated 70 MPH without a quiver or a vibration, which was impressive as hell. It starts quickly and easily, idles well cold or hot, and just generally goes about its business without any fuss. The 4-barrel carburetor makes 180 horsepower, which is a good figure for 1953, and while this car isn't exactly fast, it'll never feel like you're holding anyone up. It's clean but not detailed for show, and I see two different colors of engine enamel in there so someone has cleaned it up at some point. It's fairly correct, with a big oil bath air cleaner on top of the original Carter carburetor, and anything that was upgraded was done well--new wiring, a rebuilt pump assembly for the power top, and a fresh motor for the heater which explains why it works so well. Power steering is nice, too. The transmission is Packard's Ultra-Matic 2-speed automatic, which isn't especially thrilling, but it's durable and works just fine, and with 3.54 gears out back, it's a good all-around cruiser. The undercarriage is a bit dirty but there's no rust or rot and no structural damage, which is why it feels so solid on the road. The power steering leaks a little (what, you're surprised?) but otherwise it's tight and there's lots of recent work, including fresh brake hoses and wheel cylinders, brand new 225/75/15 radials, a switchable electric fuel pump, and most of an exhaust system. IF there's any complaint, it might be that the spare tire well appears to have been patched up at some point--there's goop on it, but it's not falling apart or showing visible rust holes. The price is $22,900. Look at the Caribbean at $79,900 and then look again at this car. 80% of the car for 30% of the price. It feels the same from behind the wheel (better in some ways), and there are little things you can do here and there to add value. It's the kind of car you can drive every day without worries, park it wherever you want, and just have fun in it. And in an ocean of garden-variety cars in this price range, a Packard convertible is always going to stand out. Take a look then let me know. This is the biggest bang for the buck in my showroom today. Thanks for looking!

Getting rid of all my literature that goes back to the 1930s and up to the present. LOTS of FWD stuff, most of it NOS. It looks like I have the whole mess sold but before it goes away if you need anything just ask. The more you buy the less it will cost! I have 2,350 different items and often more than one of each of these!

OK guys! I will deliver to Hershey next week this excellent set of 196 Oldsmobile showroom literature for only $300. Pick up at my hotel. Need to move this, sold the car 6 months ago. my email: our84olds@cox.net

The arthritis in my knees has taken all of the fun of this car away from me, so it's that time. I have owned this car for 7 years and bought the car from the original owner. It was sitting in storage prior to that from 1985. I have the original bill of sale and build sheet. This is car 0718 out of the 3508 of total production in 1975 and 76., with a few hundred known to be left that are running according to the Cosworth registry.The car has 79,000 miles and runs GREAT! In 1975 the Cosworth sold for on $500 less than the Corvette and $800 more than a Camaro. This car is a great fun to drive, and rivals the feel of driving a British sports car of the same era. I had come upon the rare aftermarket Hutton Weber Carburetor set-up, and replaced the original problematic Electronic Fuel Injection set-up, I do have all of the original fuel injection parts and they will go with the car. Some of the paint is still original in areas but it has been touched up. Since I have owned it I had the original rims restored, 5 new tires, new exhaust from the original factory stainless steel header back, new tie rod ends and center link, new fuel pump, new Delco clutch, new clutch cable, the close ratio 4 speed transmission was overhauled with new bearings and syncro rings, new U joints were installed. original starter was rebuilt, new brakes, radio speaker was rebuilt, new hoses and radiator was boiled out. new Steele weatherstrip on the hatch and the doors, had a new headliner installed, and I am sure there were many other items I had forgotten. Car is very fast! Car is registered to me and is located on Long island New York. It turns heads everywhere we take it! I know that these two words were seldom mentioned in the same sentence 'solid' and ' Vega' but it is.... a solid vega. I feel it is priced to sell asking $9,800 OBO for a car you start and drive anywhere tomorrow. LETS TALK, IT HURTS ME TO SELL IT BUT HURTS ME EVEN MORE TO GET IN AND OUT OF IT! Cosworths are supported by a great national club of extremely knowledgeable fellow Cosworth enthusiasts. I must have well over 150 magazines from the COVA loaded with GREAT tech articles, like it should be! If you are interested please PM me for more information. I will have some more photos posted on the undercarriage in the next day or so more history on Cosworth Vegas please go to http://chevyvega.wikia.com/wiki/Chevrolet_Cosworth_Vega Car will be there from Tuesday to Friday.. Thanks for looking and feel free to contact me for more information (516) 840-3653 9 to 9 EST leave a message
