Re: Advice wanted on 1941 Packard 160

In reference to other responses you've gotten on the value of your 160. Obviously, the car is only worth what someone will pay for it but there are parts on your car alone that are worth at least $2000. Namely the tail light assemblies and the overdrive transmission system. I'd hate to see you part the car out, but don't sell the car cheap assuming that it is not worth much because the engine is stuck. If it's a complete car you'll find someone who's willing to pay you what it's truly worth. Ebay is a good starting point to try to sell the car and usually the first time you advertise it will show you the maximum that someone will pay you. I'd list it with what you consider a reasonable reserve and see where it takes you(I think $5000 is a reasonable reserve). If the car doesn't meet your reserve you can always do a second chance offer if someone got close or list a second time and see what happens. There aren't that many complete 160's around and I'm sure there's a buyer out there for you. I'd be interested in talking you about your car.
