I just want to point out that by "part of the car" I mean something decent such as the whole engine and gearbox, or the running chassis or something. Not a gearknob or door handle or something small.

I am not suggesting that this car should be chopped for parts. It is actually a very nice car and I think it can be restored as a 443 Touring or Phaeton if you have the right guy and enough money.

The body work has been very well done and it looked original to me at first glance, but now I know it isn't.

I have a '29 626 rumble seat coupe (basket case) and some of these parts will work nicely on that car, which coincidentally suffered a similar fate with everything behind the doors not being original Packard.
