One thing I don't see mentioned here is that the blue car has some serious delam in the windshield....


I looked and correct me if I am wrong but a replacement could cost as much as $550?

If you put the same money in the truck that the Packard needs you'd probably be miles ahead of the Packard, sell and buy a much nicer Packard


I was thinking the same thing but I like being the one bringing something back to life. It gives me time to really know it..I cant be the only one right?!LOL.




If someone gave you the windshield and you did it yourself - probably ~$400 for the rubber. I've never done one of these but, there are a number of threads on this and it sounds like a real bear.
If you pop it out... paint good enough to not do over?? Is it original paint that is salvageable? Looks like fogging in paint but, pictures are poor.

Then the fabric on the front seat.. you have new paint now. Now you have to deal with SMS (search that here). Maybe you'll get the fabric in a year after you offer up your first born to expedite the process.

I'm a lost cause addict myself... just know what your getting into. The presentation and storage are poor. That is always cause for pause for me. Transmission was gone through but, won't stay in park. Some math doesn't work for me. This is one I'd lowball. I don't think you'll have a lot of competition until the price is south of $8-9k.
