Junk Rods for Sale

I notice more and more of these brand X junk rods are being dumped onto the market. One that caught my eye in particular was owned by a guy who chopped a nice original car. He croaked and now his abomination is coming up for auction. Another is a Packard 12 coupe roadster that was chopped. About the only thing of value on these clunkers are the original hood ornaments.

One thing about these junk rods that I find curious is the way they put the name "Packard" on the valve covers, dash boards, and tilt steering columns. To me this is as childish as putting Harley-Davidson stickers on a kid's bicycle.

Hopefully they will sell for pennies on the dollar because any new Chrysler product will eat them for a snack.

Recently I was talking with a hot rodder who said it's much easier to chop cars than restore them. So I guess you could say that restoration is a man's job.
