If you get a chance, I'd appreciate getting the theft-proof and Briggs numbers, and the motor# if possible.

Theft-proof is the very large number above the heater box that's embossed into the cowl. 6 digits with a bracket at each end.
Briggs # is on a small tag on the cowl just inboard of the heater box. Motor# is on the block, on a raised pad, above the starter motor and below the temperature gauge sensor.

Welcome Deven!
What is that black box on the firewall? Above where the starter and throttle linkage are, I see some mystery box. Good luck, and have fun getting your hands dirty.

Hi Deven
Welcome back, glad you were able to find another Packard for your project. A solid body with minor structural rust damage is a better place to start. You'll learn a lot wrenching on the Cavalier and get satisfaction from doing it yourself. Ask any and all question that arise, there are no dumb questions, we're standing by to help and encourage. Do a search first because many of the issues you'll encounter have been met before by others, much good solid advice is at your fingertips. Good luck with your Cavalier and keep us posted on your progress. Steve
