Ozstatman- if I purchase it I will be sure to add it to the registry!

JoeSantana- Thanks Joe, I completely understand and agree with you on members valuing others cars. Just trying to make sure it is in the right ballpark to make a reasonable offer and good investment .

Good Morning Gentlemen, I have been away from the packard world for afew years after selling my Clipper. I have come across a 1941 110 Business Coupe for sale on hemmings that has sparked my interest and I am considering purchasing it. Some questions for you knowledgeable folks first. Anyone have any knowledge on this particular car? I have attached pictures. The owner said it took 3rd place Junior at Hershey and took a 2nd place in class at the National Packard Meet. He also mentioned it may have been in a Museum in St. Louis for 25 years prior to him purchasing from someone in Florida. I am trying to get a good ida on value on the car prior to making an offer. The seller has it posted for $19,500. Any advice or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

So I was browsing Packard's on Ebay and had come across this.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Packard-stainless-excellent-rest-poor-1953-packard-convertible-/291172083131?forcerrptr=true&hash=item43cb3565bb&item=291172083131&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

I have requested more info from the seller but curious if anyone knows the value range on a 1953 300 Convertible in need of full restoration the asking price is $5,500.00 which I am guessing is high but I was looking for opinions.

I am always keeping my eye out for a good Packard project that this one kind of strikes me for some reason. I regret selling my 41 and eventually really want to get back in the Packard game!

Thanks

More info from the friend of the seller, He sold the car to the current seller 6 years ago and agreed to help him sell the car. it had a repaint and also a transmission rebuild at some point in the past he can get me dates they have all the paperwork from the work done. he is also going to be sending me pictures tomorrow.

I was told over the phone that the interior was good original with no rips. I will be sure to ask about ultramatic and if it has the torsion-level.

Thanks for the advice I will let them soak for a week as I can't work on it in the next week anyway and then if the don't come off I will try heat and or a nut splitter. Also tbirdman thanks for the website it looks like it will provide info and inspiration during my project!

Ok so I stared today pulled the radiator and put a wrench on crank bolt and pulled the spark plus and she was free with relatively little muscle. So now I am working on getting the front fenders off to get full access to the engine but I have one bolt on each fender inside the passenger compartment I can not get off soaked in penetrating oil and let sit for hours any segestions on getting them off? Maybe cut the bolt off? Any help is greatly appreciated!
