Hello, I would like to apologize in advance for my lack in knowledge in this area, but I'm looking for a DL51 for a 7th series std 8, that is preferably pretty complet.

Additionally I'm looking for two disk rims with mounting hardware as the pervious set was stolen.

I imagine I'll be on here quite a bit, so I'm looking forward to possibly working with some of you.

Packard Rental, interesting idea.... Honestly, I would be too nervous driving someone else's car in an event like that. I'd be way more content in my own car. Plus, the 51 doesn't have much benefit for scoring factor.
The 38 I was looking at is between 6 and 7K. Kinda cheap, but it might need a lot. Runs and drives, but the guy that has it has only owned it for two weeks....a flipper. I asked if it would drive across the state, he doesn't know. He said he drove it around his town for 2 hours with no problems.....he might be leaving out a lot of info in hopes of a sale. I might go look at it this weekend.

I agree with the other posters that you should not see a leak at the cap. The only reason I can think of for this might be pressure build-up in the tranny because the vent is plugged. Check the vent on top of the transmission and make sure it is not plugged. You access the vent from inside the car, under the carpet on the transmission "hump", there is a small plate that can be removed. The whole vent unit can be removed with a 1-1/4" socket.

Pgh, see my comments re Mushroomking's '52 200 which is also sold. I think this is likely to be a similar situation. But, thanks for the heads-up.

Mushroomking,

The following might help.

Access the Registry entry by going to the bottom of the entry and clicking on the "Make Changes" field.

This will "open" the Registry entry and permits it to be edited.

Then go further up in the entry until you reach the "STATUS:" field. Then use the drop down list and change the status to sold. Likewise the "STATUS DATE:" field can be updated with the date of the sale.

A further touch can be including some commentary in "VEHICLE HISTORY/PROJECT HISTORY" field.

And don't forget, after you've done all that, go to the bottom of the page and click on the "Save Changes" button.

Or, let me know the details, and I can do it.

Mal this sold. (Not to me.)

I have sold the 1955 Clipper Super Panama, I see no way in the registry to mark it as sold. Please advise.

big chance the 35 has a 4.54 rear end. You understand that issue. The 38 will probably have a 4.36, same issue that resulted in your buying the 40.
I have a friend who did the great race in a 51 Packard sedan - thinking out loud, why not rent it from him...proven car, right year, and you can return it...shall I make inquiry?

If the 1935 is a 120 and still has the original motor, it would be a 257, not a 282.

Others may wish to respond in detail but note there were many mechanical refinements made to the 120 for 1938.
