The 356 SOHC Packard project has stalled. My father has dementia and with that it will see a new home. Motor is installed, backed by a new Tremec five speed. This is quite the unusual project. PM with any inquiries. Thanks. Ed.

I am sorry to hear that. In regards to finding a new home, to be honest I haven't the slightest clue what this is, so you may want to post some more about it, to get some interest going.

Thanks for the feedback. A lengthy blog was started by my father some years ago: link to it from page 1 of this thead below-

The overview is as follows:

A custom cylinder head was fabricated from 2 Jeep 4.7 SOHC heads. Cam drive and all related components custom fabricated. Custom intake and exhaust. Custom pistons. Tremec five speed adapted to the engine via a Lakewood scattershield. Front of the car extended to accomdate the 356 (frame/fenders/hood). Body is 1937 or 38 I believe. Stock suspension, brakes and rear axle. The motor has 3 hours run time on it (not all in one event, most prior to chassis install).

It's a unique build (an understatement..). It was a complete car to start with. Does come with all new glass. Beyond all this, am not able to better advise off the top of my head. Thanks.

All I can say is W.O.W
I followed this years ago, always wondered.

Future of this? I've got a great idea....what a great stablemate for The Jackard!
And for the rest of us wondering, please give some idea of price...we respect the countless hour$ invested.
