There are plenty of good 48-56 Packards out there that are in much better, running condition for under $10k. I can think of at least three in my area (Pacific Northwest) that are clean drivers for $7k or less.


That's very true, I am frequently browsing FB ads and am often surprised of how many nice-looking cars are selling for what appears to be very good prices. Saw a good running-driving 50-s Mopar for just ~6k, recently. The aforementioned $10-15k budget is practically certain to fetch a very good working vehicle, assuming that we are not buying something expensive and/or rare. As we all know, the higher the original price (as long as it corresponds to the car's condition) the better the final result is usually going to be Buying a cheap project and hoping to fix it up almost always cost more at the end

I was thinking - the best advice, here, would probably be something like: take a couple of your mechanically inclined buddies and ask them to help you find a good car
