You bet. The fact you are looking around at old cars tells me you possess the necessary inclination and aptitude required to gain satisfaction out of this type of thing. I'm not a mechanic either, I just draw on my experiences as a kid when I needed to drive, but did not have money enough to pay anyone to fix what I had, and subsequently performed all my own repairs. Sometimes this was more than frequently. Luckily, the junk I mean cars I had were of 50's and early 60's manufacture as these were the only vehicles in my price range. (Remember the 50 dollar specials?)

My recommendation to you Dave is to look around, and buy the one YOU like. I would buy the Packard if it runs and drives OK without bellowing smoke, torrential leaks or a bunch of weird noises. The price of 1800 seems right.
