Hi
Delusional, a common condition when pricing collector cars.... Perhaps a few better value offerings: That nice gray '51 200 sedan, $3K cheaper than above: http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/cto/4941414531.html A '51 Patrician, compromised powertrain: http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/4955195291.html A sweet '41 110 sedan, ready-to-enjoy: http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/4917752965.html A gorgeous '55 Clipper Panama: http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/4918982265.html A less-gorgeous '55 Constellation project, cheap: http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/4941356025.html A '55 'Hash' Hornet with a Packard V8: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/4953931967.html Steve

The 55 Clipper Panama is advertised with a numbers matching 352 engine. These Super models came with the 320 engine. A very nice looking Clipper, but suspicious about the claims.

This 38 super 8 with the wrong engine is getting desperate. He dropped $20k since advertising it. It's still way over priced.

I doubt if a buyer of that Darrin thing could succeed in court. A judge wouldn't hear a case like that in the absence of a qualified appraisal and dismiss on the grounds of due diligence not being fulfilled.
Secondly, most judges would consider anybody nuts for paying that much money for old cars. I knew an early CCCA guy who had a mint original SSK Mercedes that had parts stolen off of it at a shop. He sued and the judge simply looked at the case and threw it out on the grounds that old car collectors are nuts.

If you spend that much $$$ and you are not a Darrin expert and you fail to hire one....all I can say at that point: you can't fix stupid!

None here in the rarified six-figure range but all just genuine Packard or nearly so: A '51 300, needs floor repair but looks decent otherwise: http://longisland.craigslist.org/cto/4959378082.html Myriad '52 200 sedans: Try to restore one to this nice for the price, 11K miles: http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/4935061774.html Half the price but still good for the money, 39K miles: http://toledo.craigslist.org/cto/4919975726.html Another cheaper yet, needs lifter attention, 50K miles: http://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/4958605890.html A '55 Clipper sedan, solid, inexpensive: http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/4935413984.html A '57 Clipper town sedan, 37K miles, good-looker: http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/4925612342.html Steve

Odd that they detail the overhead sunglasses holder, the USB port, heated steering wheel, etc. but no mention of what they are using as an engine. Or did I miss it? I think it needs a backup camera.
