It's not an 1803, it's an 1807 One-Eighty Super Eight.
Also, there is no asking price. The FB poster is interested in buying, and wants to know how much it's worth.

I love most of what's been done. The grille is not to my liking, tho.

It would have been earlier than that, as my dad bought it at the end of 1973.

I use a paint can opener. Works perfectly.

like THIS ?

I'm not understanding. All you need to do is click on the Gooding link.

You may have seen my FaceBook notice regarding my family's decision to sell "George," the name my dad gave to this 1930 Packard Speedster Eight boattail in honor of George Jepson, who sold it to my dad in 1973. This car rarely ever saw a trailer until it was restored for the second time in 1998, and even then, it saw quite a bit of road time on CCCA CARavans, and one stint on the Colorado Grand. Of all the cars I've ever driven, and I've driven a huge variety of all different makes, models, and eras, this car... hand's down ... is the most fun car I've ever driven. It will be a sad and emotional day when it is gone.

AUCTION

David Flack may be your go-to on this.

Do you need the whole regulator, or just a replacement gear? I replaced my gears a year or two ago.

The statement of the recommendation is correct. The copper double-sided contact should be between the steel single contact in the base.
Also, a link to PackardInfo pages where this information can be found.
