AdamInNH Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Interesting. I still see an easy $175-200K to finish that car, if the mechanicals need nothing. Been there, done that. Now, I prefer to take advantage of someone else’s hard work and financial investment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63RedBrier Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Always seems odd to me to advertise a car like this on Craigslist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 A Packard V12 is an awesome car. An engine job is also a 75k proposition these days. Maybe there is someone with the skills, time and dream to make this work, but those guys are very hard to find these days. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Looking at the condition makes one wonder. Did the overly optimistic owner get hit with the $100k+ estimate to finish once it was taken apart? I can imagine this would be a wonderful car when finished but it looks like it needs someone with a bit of disposable income to take on this project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 It is neat that there still projects like this floating around out there. Keeps a person looking for what else could pop up. Doing your homework on a project like this is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
