Xander Wildeisen Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I would not post this car on this site if it was not for the V12 engine. Thought someone might be interested in the engine, or maybe the stude. https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3295288330753768/?ref=browse_tab&search_query=Packard&tracking={"qid"%3A"-6060349349665566575"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"5017464355030192"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A5017464355030192%2C\"target_type\"%3A0%2C\"primary_position\"%3A-1%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A0%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A503%2C\"value\"%3A0}"%2C"ftmd_400706"%3A"111112l"} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 That LaFrance engine is a tough one with its dual ignition etc. I had one a few years ago that I did get to run and in fact drove the truck. (head gasket) But sold the engine to some boat racer. And the rest to a guy that turned out to be a hoarder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 I had a 1944 American la France. Same style as yours. Could not give it away, fire department did not even want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Wildeisen Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 That was my V12. Had an extra block and other parts. Fire truck was sent to the great fire house in the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Any chassis the Lycoming V-12 ends up in better be beefed-up considerably, that engine weighs half a ton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
