1955 Packard Super Clipper. Rebuilt 320 engine bored over .060". Upgraded oil pump conversion and power braking system. New brakes, all new front end components, all new interior, transmission has been resealed, complete new rubber kit, new diamond back wide white wall tires, re-chromed rear bumper. 300 miles on car since restoration. Runs and drives nicely. The radio is installed, but I haven't had it rebuilt. The front bumper does have one small dent. Asking $10500 US obo. Car is located in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.

Ooh, don't tempt me...

What power brake system did you use?

I believe it was Master Power Brakes.

That is a beautiful Clipper. Love the color combo.

I think we would all like to know a bit more about how the modern booster and master cylinder were done. Probably not in this thread, but somewhere on the forum it would be great to have documentation of how the modifications were done. Pictures, write up etc.

PGH you should totally get this car.

😫 yeah, I need put the money towards my business though.

Besides, I have a 51 200 in mind which would very a VERY interesting project... if I can get it for the right price.

Either way, I promised CarFreak on here that I wouldn't buy another one until I got at least one of my current cars back on the road. Both are very close, but I spent all last year on the Clipper, so they will probably get done about the same time.

Not all of us! I am firmly against re-engineering what was already an excellent system and am trying at the moment to reverse this very thing that some previous owner did. The pedal, aside from now being mis-positioned, feels awful and the tiny discs at the front are nowhere near as efficient as the huge stock drums and shoes from the factory.
