1954 Clipper Deluxe

1954 Packard Deluxe $3,500 327/auto 88k miles Ok interior. Runs & lot drives. Clear title.
I do my best to expose all the "warts" so that there are little to no surprises.
This car sat in storage for 20+years. Of course with a car this old, and having sat for a long time, the brake and fuel systems need work as one would expect.
Needs a complete brake system. Bendix booster and master cylinder either need rebuilt units, or install a modern system. Wheel cylinders, lines, brake shoes, need replacement.
Overall body is in great shape. No dents, or previous accidents. Minimal rust. Two small patches of floorboard need to be installed, 12" x 12" or less. A few small holes on the rear wheel well lips. The pic was taken some time ago before I bought the car. It does not show a rust spot on the hood that does not have paint on it. I think it sat in storage in a spot where the roof of the building leaked on the hood. No rust through, just no paint. Rest of body & frame rust free. Has had one repaint some time in the past, and I would consider it a "10 footer". The repaint is close to the original color.
Radiator has a small leak. A small amount of wiring needs to be replaced along with the voltage regulator.
Unstuck exhaust valves, replaced head gasket, and had the head resurfaced summer of 2016.
Fuel pump needs replacement, and gas tank needs to be gone thru, cleaned out, etc.
OVERALL this car is in good shape. Definitely not a junker. An easier restoration than many other 63 yr old cars out there.
Car is located in the Eau Claire Wi area. 715-559-7733
