1951 Packard Patrician for sale.
I have owned this since finding it in a dusty barn about 8 years ago. Love the vehicle, however at this time, and two new kids later do not have enough time to fully restore this vehicle. I would love for it to go to someone who will continue its journey.
Since purchase, I have done the following:
Rebuilt transmission with parts from a wrecked 200 (transmission wouldn't go reverse and had a broken belt)
Replaced a stuck hydraulic lifter.
During disassembly of the engine / transmission / drivetrain components, all parts were sandblasted and repainted.
Removed and rebuilt all 4 drum brakes and all are in good working condition.
Rebuilt water pump.
Removed original broken radio and replaced with a newer Bluetooth capable unit (still looks stock).
Replaced the points for an pertronix electronic ignition (still needs some fine tuning).
Replaced all wires/plugs and new hellfire coil.
Replaced the grill which was broken in half in two places with a new intact one (still have original)
This Vehicle has been driven to and from the Ol' Marais Car show multiple times (about 35 miles), and 75 mph on Hwy 35. This vehicle could be driven daily if desired. 96000 miles on this beauty, unsure if it has flipped or not.
This Vehicle is located inside a climate controlled shop in central Kansas. PM me for more details or pictures. $7000, offers accepted.
