Hey guys I purchased the Packard in the link below for $8,800 and that is including shipping. I am having it shipped from Washington to my house and should be arriving Saturday evening or Sunday morning. Thank you to everyone who chimed in on my original thread "should I make the trade". Thank god I became a member on here and bugged you guys before trading the 57' Chevy truck for the first Packard I looked at. Who knows I might really regret this purchase since I havent seen it in person or driven it but I had the owner take allot of pics. The last owner said he....
- rebuilt the wheel cylinders
-new master brake cylinder
- changed the coolant
- cleaned the gas tank(no new liner)
-new fuel pump
- Has installed a carb that was rebuilt a long time ago so he thinks the accelerator pump is going bad since it had been sitting for so long. He is sending the original carb with rebuild kit that he was planning on doing.
- color sanded
- installed electric wipers
After driving it off the carrier I am planning on doing the following...
-flushing radiator (any tips would be appreciated, I have never done this before)
-Change oil and Filter (should I change the pan gasket as well?)
- Change transmission fluid and drop pan and clean out (any tips? I have never done this before )
- Leaky power steering any tips on how to handle this?
- Check all gauges, knobs etc.
-Check Torsion level
Any advice would be much appreciated!
This is just the first of may posts from me. I will post a ton of pics once she shows up!
