Not worth the 4 hour round trip drive back up there to pick up with gas prices, but if anyone is interested, I can put you in touch with guy that owns them. He's not a Packard guy, just inherited all this stuff. I even know exactly where there are at. Rear shed, shelving unit on the right, 2nd shelf. I believe there were two of them, perhaps as many as four, and the motors were still attached to the window mechanisms.

There were also a stack of flywheels (V8 I think), and another stack of clutch packs.

Out in the yard was a stack of V8 engines. Most of them bare blocks, some still with the manifolds on. (No Caribbean ones....I looked.)

Since the last time I was out there, a lot of stuff had already been cleared out. V8 part cars, cranks, cams, and other stuff like that was sold for scrap. I think all the motors are piled together like they are because they are the next to go.

So basically left up there is misc V8 engine parts. A couple of tail shafts. Those window regulators with motors, flywheels, clutch packs, and 1/2 dozen hoods. Also some '53 patrician stainless trim, and other unknown belt-line trim.
