I'd like to think a '36 120 conv.coupe is worth $150 K, but I doubt even a 100-point car would bring that.

Travel the country in style! Found on Facebook, not mine......... 1949 Packard Housecar in Flagstaff AZ, $5000

A '36 120 sedan parts car:

A '51 200, manual shift, nice daily driver:

That '36 is a solid candidate for a SBC auto, but 5k?

I want some of what that guy's smoking.

Couple of finds on FB Marketplace:

1938 120 Convertible coupe. Rough unrestored, but intact and definitely doable. Many years of indoor storage. Owner has passed away and grandson is now clearing out the property. Think it is well worth the asking price of $9,500 for what I am seeing here. I contacted seller and informed him that it was a '38 120, not a '37 Super 8 as advertised. Knoxville, TN:

1949 (23rd Series) small 8 sedan. Either a Standard or Deluxe. Rough from years of outdoor storage. Probably best for parts. Asking $850. Crawfordsville, IN:

1949 (22nd Series) Club Coupe Rat Rod. Has drivetrain out of a 2002 GMC Sonoma. Probably one of the rattiest rat rods I've ever seen. Very ratty looking, especially the crudely welded homemade fender skirts. $4,500 in Rome, NY. Maybe Rome was not built in a day, but it looks like this car was.

1941 120 Coupe. Fully restored, has dual side mounts. Car does look sharp, but asking price is unreasonable at $75K. Nice convertibles are bringing less money these days:

Two more rough, unrestored 23rd Series small eight sedans:

1940 Henney Hearse. Has been street rodded. Obviously, a lot of money spent. Seller asking $63K. Montana:

1953 Clipper Club Sedan. Very rough, floors shot. interior completely gutted. Looks like someone converted this to stick shift as I am seeing a long shift lever coming out of the floor. Minot, ND:

1946 Clipper Super. Very solid body, actually does not look bad overall. Interior appears to have been redone.
Probably totally rust free as it is from Arizona. Asking $8,200:

This ad has been up before, but seller has added more pictures. I am seeing the following:

Partially restored 1938 or 1939 Convertible Coupe. Can't tell if it is a Six or a 120. Body in primer on a rolling chassis

1953 or 1954 Henney Junior Ambulance. Nose is off, but body looks solid

1955 Caribbean. Partially restored, in primer, body work in process. All trim removed.

1955 Clipper hardtop. Partially restored and in primer.

Lots of old metal signs, some Packard related.

Cars are located in Florida:

Not likely an "automatic" transmission, but maybe an overdrive (?)

The rat rod coupe does have some unique features.... the crosscut saw sun visor and Chevy valve cover door pulls really add a custom flair that can't be beat!

If I had money to burn and nothing better to do, I'd put the body on a old highboy F-250 4X4 chassis and add a powerstroke 7.3 engine. Put the original dash back in, killer sound system, and hire a good custom painter to do a high-end alligator hide 3-D paint job in shades of pearlescent green metallic. Faux alligator interior. Take the crosscut saw theme a little farther by adding saw blade "teeth" to the hood cut lines... 44s, 8-inch pipes with propane flame throwers, etc.

You sure have a vivid imagination!

The '46 looks like it's worth it, basically. But, timing and distance.

1947 Super Clipper: Beautifully restored in sliver over black. Car was in a museum. Arizona:
