The driver of the Packard is Roscoe Stelford. He had a ball on the track. Posted on: 2007/7/24 11:06

Did anyone else search Youtube for Packard stuff? I did the Packard factory vids were interesting if you turned the sound off. Posted on: 2007/7/27 22:27

There were a very few Avantis delivered with a 3 speed floor shift. As I recall, the curb weight on an Avanti is around 3500 Lbs. Posted on: 2007/7/28 20:17
