VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | I found this Packard back in 1986 or 87, when I was working at Mel Burns Ford in Long Beach Ca. It was on the used car lot, on consignment. The owner had not been heard from for about 3 years, so the used car manager sold me the car for $35. I drove it home... old gas and all At some time I did a valve job done and installed the harden seats. used the Dodge 318 lifters Car has always been a good driver, many trips to Tucson Az and to Las Vegas | ||||
| Vehicle Modifications | |||||
MODIFICATIONS: | I'm installing front Disc brakes at this time, using the F150 setup that Paul used. I am also installing a Hydroboost system from a Mustang v8, and using a remote master cylinder fill Installing new brake lines "poly armor" The transmission was rebuilt back in the late 80's by Bob down in Vista Ca.. he was in his late 70's then. I installed all new wheel cylinders, right after I bought the car and I've had the power brake unit rebuilt twice that is why I'm switching to the Hydroboost, It's just smarter in the Ca traffic. I've been driving and had the brake fluid disappear from the MC Sorry don't have a good pic of the Packard on this computer... any longer | ||||
