Minor Dilemma....Sell It Whole..Or Part Out?

Posted by Paul Bellefeuille On 2014/5/31 21:06:49

I have my '55 Clipper Super for sale on Craigslist..and it's been slow to say the least.
So I am contemplating parting it out..

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Here are the details..

1955 Packard Clipper Super Touring Sedan project car.
Two-tone green. 320 V-8 engine, Twin Ultramatic Automatic Transmission. 12 volt. It was built later in the model year as it has the curved side molding. It has a regular suspension NOT the torsion level system. It was running when the project began but it appears that the timing chain has jumped a tooth as the timing had to be adjusted way out in order to get it started. It needs front floorboards, a radiator, gas tank relined, a windshield, and other smaller things to make it a great running car. The upholstery is rough but complete. Headliner is missing as is the carpeting.
Paint is weather-checked, body fairly straight. Frame has no rust. Body has one rust spot and some surface rust. Back of the roof has a minor dent (see photo) The car has under 90,000 miles on it. Carburetor has been professionally rebuilt.
Only 7700 of these were built.
$1,000.00 price is negotiable
Car is at my house in Kingston NH about 30 minutes from the Haverhill Mass border and 40 minutes from the Kittery Maine border.
