Never got to look at it up close...what a fun looking but surprisingly high and large car! It's like you could do 130mph...through a field!

While we're waking sleeping dogs, go ahead and convert to 12v, replace the ultramatic with something, and switch to digital ignition.

Oh and put radials on.


Did i miss anything? Get some popcorn, about to get lively

Bracket from side of the block and supports the round part of the air cleaner by being shaped like a "fork" and going under the head of the bolt that goes through the aircleaner. When you tighten the wingnut, it pulls the head tight against the bracket. I made one out of the bracket that used to hold my 2bbl aircleaner and ran down to a head stud nut.

I just "asked the seller a question" Is the car original or restored?




You know what the answer is going to be...

"well, it's both...originally restored!"



i have to think, with the brief description, that he doesn't really know anything about it, and did a nada price guide look up on a super 8 in mint condition?

"This packard is all orginal. It has been kept in the dry most of its life.It is a nice older restoration car."

So is it original or has it been restored? for 25k, you can find out!

My 50 has a knock but the rest of it is great, think i can get maybe just 20k for it?

You know what would be a great steering wheel in that car (especially if you stick with the woodgrain dash)?

It may be that gear selector adjustment and tv linkage adjustment might do wonders for your tranny, if they're both off.
