WTB: 1930-31 733 Packard parts

[aertex]

Hello, I am looking for the following parts, although there are other 733 series parts that would be considered too:

• hood
• front fenders/guards (maybe rear too)
• grill shell
• complete front and rear ends (brakes, suspension, axles, springs, hangers)
• headlight buckets
• disc or wire wheels (maybe)

Any condition body panels can be considered from mint to patterns only as I have the facility to restore/rebuild or remake body parts-so just let me know what you have

Thanks very much

Alan

someone is cleaning out an estate in California with 4 Packard parts cars approx 1928-1930

thanks for the lead

[aertex]

ok, I followed up lead and the news is not entirely great. The guy has 4 Packard parts cars '28, '29 and '30 @ $300 ea, with some decent body and mechanical parts on them. Much to good to crunch. If they are not moved in a week they will end up as scrap, which kills me I can tell you

 

The cars are in La Honda Ca, which is right in the middle of SF and Santa Cruz (only about 45 miles from each city). Surely somebody can grab them and use them before they are gone forever? Unfortunately, there is no way I get there myself to grab them directly. But I do need several '30 parts-so here is a win/win proposition for somebody who is up to it. If you can pick up the car/s, I will buy the parts I need off you for essentially a lot more than you will have paid-ie. you make a very decent cash profit which is fine by me and I get the parts I need. Please do not think there is any deceptive motive in any way involved. I am just a car guy trying to put together a '30 Packard, thats it. Please consider. If there is any specific interest in what I suggest, please pm me and we can communicate further by what ever means you like

This is the same thing I am facing at the estate I am helping with. There are some packard parts, but I would not know if if I was looking at the part you need. I know Model L lincoln, but not packard. There is a hood for sure and many rear ends, some for sure packard. Cant tell you what they are from though. Probably earlier.

thanks for comments Linus. It is a real tragedy when these vintage cars are just wasted when there are people out there hunting and chasing to restore them. I could certainly guide anybody with parts id and the owner in La Honda knows which year each is, although he is clearly not a car guy and sees them as a hindrance to get rid of quickly. There are plenty of 20" disc wheels which would be very handy

 

I didn't actually spell it out previously but I would be in a position to give somebody the $300 (or whatever) to buy the '30 (and maybe a few other bits I need) and then to buy back the parts I need for myself. Alan
