Advice wanted on 1941 Packard 160

Hello All, New to forum but need some expert advice. Back in 1973, I bought a 1941 160 sedan (1903-1472) for about $1500 from the original owner in Virginia. A new battery and some gas in the carb and it started after many years in the garage. However, I did have to use the parking brake to slow it down. Hauled it in a U-Haul truck back to Indiana. I have kept it all of these years covered, wanting to restore it. However, married, career, kids, retirement etc, now I am chest-deep in restoration of a 1957 Jaguar and with my advancing age and fixed income, I can see that this Packard is never going to get to the front of my line. I need to find a new home for it, but I have no idea what might be a fair value. I would really appreciate if you members of the forum could give me an idea what I should likely take for such a car. I took the engine and transmission out and stored them separately (dumb idea!!). A couple of years ago I put them back in. The engine won't turnover, but it ran when I bought it. All of the parts are there like interior and chrome trim and taillights etc but the upholstery , rubber, paint etc is very weathered, moth eaten. This is not a driver, it needs a real restoration. The body is solid, one small dent and the front bumper is cracked, some surface rust. otherwise undamaged. Besides any guesses to fair value, can you suggest some site to try. I am sincere in just wanting some ideas for fair value, not trying to sell it in this forum..Ken Johnston
