That is the Pacific I did in the early 80s and still one of my favorites. It was not a body off but just about everything else was redone. Haven't seen the car for years but it looks like it has held up well. The spotlights and the Chevy wiper motor are "new" which must be part of the 12v conversion. Wonder how, if, or who converted the window pump and cylinders to 12v or if there is something odd done. You can't imagine how much fun it was to dye and then rinse something like 15 yards of original white and black fabric to green and black. That was done using Rit dye. Bought a huge galvanized garbage can and installed a couple of electric hot water heater elements in it to heat the water and dye. Another for the rinse. Even more fun to try and hang all that wet cloth up to dry without any touching the floor. All that was left in the car of the original AC was the control pod, external fender vents, and the flat louvers on the package shelf. The trunk evaporator case was hand made and exterior wise, looks as close a duplicate as I could do -- even to the Frigidaire name. I never finished the AC. Had started another project and the fellow that bought it wanted it just as it was. Apparently he never finished it either but says he has all the parts. I know it changed hands a couple of times before he got it back. He has many many Packard parts and cars so wonder if some original AC parts found their way to the car. Here are before and after photos. This was all before digital cameras so I didn't take many photos and have none of the AC evaporator I built.

Wow, Howard!
That's great seeing your old Pacific again, and it looks good. Goes to show that PackardInfo is a great Packard resource.
