Re: Should I Make the Trade?

Technically offtopic but I reminded myself today that I know of a similar Packard 400 in much better condition that's been for sale for almost a year now with no takers. (It's by where I used to live, but I don't know the seller.) Price has already dropped to $18.5k from $28.5k originally so you might be able to get it for $15-16k and be in a much better position vs. spending the same amount of money/time on the other one.

However it's in Oklahoma... theoretically you could fly out and drive it back, but it's been driven only an average of 100 miles/year for the past 2 decades, so that may or may not work out.

I haven't seen it in person so I'm not endorsing it, just wanted to let you know.https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2872685793046817/

By the way Packardfan here is your paint code info:
The one you found appears to be Sapphire Moonstone which is Paint Code GF.
And just FYI, the interior looks to be "White Orchard Bouclé—Black Patent, White Leather" which is code 85.

Here's a picture of the Facebook one I linked, which appears to either be original or a proper restoration. Paint on this one should be Ultramarine Moonstone which is code GE.
