Due to a lot of pressure here <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I will offer this car for sale as a whole here first.

I will have more pics available early next week, if anyone is interested. I will take $950.00 for the car as is. The car is located south of Fargo ND.

This car has what appears to be the original straight 8, which I have not seen run. The engine is free and can be turned by hand. Transmission and differential are also in the car, and appear to be original and unmolested.

This car was last licenesed in 1962, and has 74,216 miles showing on the odometer. The person whom I purchased it from stated that it was driven in the 80's.

I will try to describe the car as best as possible. This car is "field fresh", it could serve as an excellent parts car, or restore as you see fit.

The front grill is in nice condition with minor pitting, nice shine, and sports a very nice Packard emblem. The front grill moldings are all pretty nice with minor pitting except the lower center one which is broken. The front bumper is very solid, needs chrome will need minor straightening. Very easy bumper to redo. The front optional master grill guard has some damage but should be able to be restored. Headlamp rings are very nice. Parklamp lens are not cracked and in good shape.

The left fender is very nice, no rust through. All panels have some surface rust. The right fender is solid, it has been pushed in by the wheelopening. It could be repaired. The hood is good. Left front door is good, right front door is good, left rear door is good, but it does have a hole in it by the upper molding from a bullet? The right rear door is good. The left quarter is good except for some rust by the rear bumper end. The right quarter is good. The rocker panels are rusted. The passenger compartment floor is rusted.

The rear door opening frame has some rust up by the strikers. The roof is in good shape.

The trunk is good, and the trunk floor appears to be good.

This car has a exterior sunvisor which is in very good condition. Some glass is cracked but overall in good condition.

The rear bumper is very rechromable. The rear bumper guard does have some damage, but again should be very restorable. The trunk handle is nice, and so is the trunk emblem. The taillight lenses are good, the bezels are nice with minor pitting. The back up lamps are pretty good, the left lens is cracked. They do sit at an angle for some reason. The rear body panal does have some damage. The license lamp is cracked, the bezel is nice with minor pitting.

The spotlamp is dented and cracked.

The interior is rough. All upholstrey will have to be replaced. The dash looks to be complete, the only parts missing are the front kick panels. The steering wheel is black, but cracked. The steering wheel emblem is very nice.

All hubcaps are nice, and include the trim rings. Even the spare tire has a hubcap, and appear to be orginal.

This car has a ND title. The car is listed as a 49 two door on the title however. The serial number matches the car, so it should be able to get straightened out.

There are a LOT of good parts on this car. If you have any questions, you can email me, or call 218-790-3892 evenings only. Weekends I will not be able to answer the phone due to lack of cell service.

Thanks for your interest.

Try sending a private message to ddub. As I recall he asked back in November whether he should part out the car and the consensis here was try to sell it whole 1st.

It probably has a 288cid engine and a 3 speed trans. Could have overdrive or Ultramatic but not many atuo-trans Packard cars were done in 49. Got the impression the car was all there though.

Hi guys,

Sorry, haven't been around.

The car is still available.

This car has the 288 engine, at least that is on the head. I am not sure on the transmission. It appears to be a 3 speed manual, there is a knob below the clock which could be an overdrive switch as it goes to a cable.

I can either email pictures (be prepared small pics but lots of them) or pm me your address and I can burn a disc and mail them.
