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.

Hi

Two '55's, both look decent for the price:

A Clipper Panama, 46K miles:
pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/5255301229.html

A Patrician, 43K miles, :
harrisburg.craigslist.org/cto/5256971670.html

Both need upholstery work but would be a good start.

THANKS TROY AND ADMN!

thanks you guys. i have a core. but it is locked. i just want one to hook up to the 288 for the 51.
my 52 has a 52 ultramatic it works well but rear seal leaks.

the 52 came with the 327 so the ujoints and all are diffrent form the regular 200 which my 51 is.

ultimatly i would want the 12 plate clutch for the 327 / 52 200 dlx.

i want to have one ready for the bucket list road trip to Indy in May. want to drive the 51 200 . just looking at possibilities. if i trip on a stack of money i would just go get this core i have rebuilt. 2 thousand was a quote. but i dont know of anybody specialising in ULTRAMATICS in california. i know of a guy in virginia and sacramento.. but not down here. i should go down to san diago and talk to southwestpackards.. he knows everything.


keeping with the craiglsits theme. there is a parts car in SF fro 500 dollers. has a windshield and motor trnny!

sorry i am on my mac and no spell check. you guys rock by the way


i have a parts car 54 with some glass if anyone wants some. winshield is cracked but rear is good. not much else. going to mill next month

32 Standard eight sedan

Looks like it's in good shape, and for less than $30k. To bad it has a reproduction plate.

These sedans have really come down in value, and that does look like a very nice example; if the engine is good it's a bargain IMO. If it needs full engine rebuild, not so great a deal. He's obviously not well-informed about the car, he thinks the wheelbase at 127 is the long wheelbase when in fact the shortest available wheelbase was 129".
