kgreen Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 When I convert 3,000 Dinar to dollars, I would think $26.89 would be a very fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Dobbin Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Cheap Packards are what dreams are made of. A $75,000 restoration would yield an attractive $25,000 car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Heck, that Packard is a walk in the park compared to this 31 Auburn coupe a friend pulled out of a mine shaft. And yes it will be restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curti Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Remember this is a hobby, and everyone's hobby is different. He will have a tremendous sense of satisfaction when it is done. He and his son work on it together and THAT is a good thing from any angle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I think that safe in the background is going to be alot emptier when he's done, but it is an Auburn, so it will be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_a Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) You could make a small fortune out of that Packard....if you started with a large one. I was looking at: www.car-from-uk.com last night and looked at all of the Packards listed for sale there, 758, just for fun. ALL of them were in better shape than the remains of this one, even the cheaper ones. I think there was a straight-8 '42 Packard Clipper that had been garaged since 1946 and had a an engine rebuild 10 years ago for $2,500. The U.S. version of this site has cars that are here, though some are old listings, or already sold, from other sites.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) There was an article in a recent issue of "Antique Automobile", I think, about that paricular Auburn. The guy dragged it out of the weeds with the intention of restoring it but found a boat tail car that he restored instead. Beautiful job,won all the awards.I think it was a 29.He painted it silver and black. The above car was next Edited December 10, 2016 by Dave Mellor NJ (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD in KC Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 OK, it's not a "V" eight; but I think the guy can't count either... it's a six. Apparently a Packard 110. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 It would be a logical guess that your friend Glen is also on this forum. He stopped by here to look at the Boat Tail Speedster project we have for sale, nice guy. He said his father was into ACD cars, and searched this part of the country back in the 70's. He did tell me about his Auburn project. A lot of work will be needed on that nugget of Auburn ore pulled from the mine. That project would be good street rod/custom material to me. A nice 30's Indy style build would be cool, or a custom roadster with a lift off top. I will keep my eyes open for any Auburn parts for Glen, but I think he has more contacts and sources then I do. The only parts we have are for our project. Will look good however he finishes it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
