What I was told: The owner has had a bad stroke. Son is selling. The 1936 All-Weather cabriolet was purchased as a complete car. It is the one that was being restored. Engine done, but not completely put together (heads still off). The other three cars were apparently purchased in "already torn apart" condition. Perhaps as parts cars.
Individual prices on the cars:
1935 convertible sedan - $39k
1936 all weather cab $59k
1937 all weather cab -$35k
1938 club sedan- $8500
Extra parts shelves are separate.
So, $141500.00, presuming that I did my maths correctly. I didn't double check. Plus parts are extra. Truly a Mine Is Gold and Yours Is Lead scenario.
Sorry that the old guy likely sunk a chunk of change into these cars Way Back When, when it might look like he'd recoup his nut and maybe make something. That's a lot of wishing these days.
Were I to drop that amount of shekels (and it's out of the question anyway), I would buy the '34 12 banger club sedan on the Packard club website, if it's still available. It's an older restoration claiming to be well-maintained, which is the kind of thing that is right up my alley, and I like the body style better.
And then I would pray to Mecca five times a day and beseech Allah that nothing ever broke.
