7th Son Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/louisville-1949-packard/7720951556.html 1949 Packard under restoration. 2nd owner for the last 56 years. This is a manual transmission w/overdrive always garaged, but hasn't been licensed the last 38 years. Glass, chrome, paint, engine, tires, battery all very good. New plugs, points, spark plug harness, cooling hoses, muffler, fuel pump, etc. Still needs work on gas tank (alcohol corrosion), clutch (clutch plate stuck to fly wheel, had all new parts), brakes (new brake parts installed need bleeding and adjustment), and front seat upholstery (mole hair warn and torn) to complete. The interior is very good except for front seat. Have spare, jack, 2 snow tires on rims, manual and car cover. Extra parts include 6 v. bulbs, mats, battery core, fender skirts, old brake cylinders, old front brake shoes, and more. I am 82 and don't have the energy to complete this project. This was my wife's first car and would like to see it go back into service. Sold as is. Sorry, we don't have the original Montana title as it was a piece of art. We do have a clean Colorado title. VIN is 2392 I2bI2 and not what they changed under posting format.

neil morse Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 This looks like a worthy project at a reasonable price for someone with the skills to do the work. Interior looks very nice, notwithstanding the comment about lack of "mole hair" on front seat. Trap a few moles and problem solved! Dash looks particularly nice. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moles have very short hair so it would take more than a few! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidinCA Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Price is right, work it needs is reasonable, but it’s not driveable, so shipping would be expensive. Seems like a great car if you’re nearby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) This would be a nice winter project up here in the Northland. Seller would need to eat some of the transport costs to make this deal viable for someone out of the seller’s area.

Leif in Calif Posted Monday at 02:07 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:07 PM I think this is one of the better sounding projects that have been posted! Long term ownership of a well cared for car that needs some work high labor but relatively low parts price work. Makes me start thinking...
