But for that price, you're getting a nice driver that probably gets more attention at a local show than a 69 mustang.
Or you can spend $18k on a "resto-mod" 39 packard with bucket seats and a buick v8. https://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/5262155276.html I'll take the Clipper with incorrect upholstery and a better price in a heartbeat over the 39!

41 180 touring sedan. Looks like a lot of the heavy lifting is done:

I have heard that this year of Ultramatic is problematic? would putting it in a 51' 200 be stupid?

I was thinking the biggest problem was they were not up to the handling the horsepower of the V-8 engines.....

That V-12 is another car gone bad due to improper storage.
That's a shame.

Rusty, Nothing wrong with a 56 Ultramatic or hooking it to the V-8. One needs to keep in mind Packards are a Gentleman's touring sedan not a NASCAR. These transmissions hookup to direct drive at mid speeds and do not Kick Down (passing gear) as modern trans. Issues (failures) arise from abusive driving. Normal driving they will last a normal life.
Honestly $500 is high for a core tranny from just the pics, I'd question rebuilt, and the converter does not look as if it has been serviced. I have never paid more than $150 for a core for rebuild. You can get a full core for $150 just to the south of you. Just my $.02

Not quite sure what you are planning to swap but don't believe the V8 Twin Ultra bellhousings will bolt up to the inline 8s if you are looking at just putting the trans on the original engine.
