Very optimistic. I think they are about $50K high. If it were perfect and I mean 100% it might bring $50K, but not at the price they are asking for the condition it is showing. Carpeting looks cheap. The exterior color looks too light, but it may be the way it was videoed. The tail pipe routing by the gas tank looks to be too close to the tank. That said, it is a beautiful car. I guess if I could only own one Packard it would be one of these Custom Super Clipper Club Sedans.

I too noticed the wiring to the carb switch. They routed it around in back of the horns and came at the switch from that direction. Looks like the wiring is still too close to the exhaust manifold. Also note the wiring to the front of the engine compartment and how it is routed along the top of the LH splash shield. Neat job, but is it authentic?

I hope they get their asking price, as a rising tide ...
