Hello,

I am considering buying a 1948 Packard. I have yet to get it on a lift for a complete check. The essentials are this. Frame, floorboards and trunk great no rust and sound. quarter panels and fenders were not repaired and have no rust. Interior is mostly intact and possibly an older restoration with Mohair.
Here are the negatives:
1. a car dealer is selling this.
2. He said he had the engine running but it does not run now.
What do I need to look for? I have owned many classics but not familiar with Packard. The price is $4,800 which is suspicious to me.
