cooter9 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Trying to get a ballpark figure for the worth in today's economy for a 1935 12 club sedan that recently scored 93 out of 100. The car is really a spectacular example of a Packard 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1935Packard Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I think ballpark would be $60,000 - $90,000, but then that's a pretty big ballpark. Pictures, history, etc. would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_Speedster Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I couldn't even guess, as to how much it should be valued at (considering recent changes), but 'I Like It'! Appears to be a very well done restoration (appears to be done by professional) and I like the colors. Even the heater has been restored. It looks like a Packard should. If the radio works, the Value will about Double! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1935Packard Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 With the caveat that pictures can hide a lot of information, I would guess a car like that would probably go for around $70k to $80k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mitchell Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 The car looks really nice and very straight. You haven't said how it runs and drives, but since the cosmetics on the engine have been done at least sometime recently, I would guess that the engine has been rebuilt, which if done correctly is worth about $30K or more. From the looks of it, those might be new heads. The exhaust manifold should be porcelained, the coil wire is clipped in the wrong place (about 90% of them are), the water jackets should be green with painted bolts, the oil fill letters should be painted and the hoses aren't the really expensive Lynn Steele type. What I can see of the interior looks good - correct pattern on the door panel and nice wood with inlay. The dash is correctly woodgrained, but the carpet shouldn't be bound like that. The lighter is incorrect and the heater is the right type, but doesn't have the right knobs or center strip, and should be darker brown. The only think that looks out of place on the outside is that the trunk rack seems to be darker - it should be body color. This is a rare and unusual car, and club sedans traditionally bring a premium over all other sedans, so if this runs and drives well and the engine has had a professional rebuild, I would guess it is worth 80 - 95K. I personally would like it better in a different color, but that is just my taste. Unless it is very light, it looks like the pinstriping is missing, and doing that would help the car. A nice original Super 8 sold this year for almost 60K, and this is surely worth more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8096 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Look at the picture of the back of the 1935 Packard. Now look at the upper left side of that picture. Is that an unrestored 1935 - 1939 Packard coupe roadster in bare metal? I want to know more about THAT car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8096 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Where is the armored coil wire to the ignition switch supposed to be clipped on a 1935 - 1939 Twelve? Is it the top of the head right near the exhaust manifold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
