Description

This car was restored in the 1980s after sitting in a garage for 15 years. It has been driven regularly about 25. 00 miles since the restoration was completed. This was a complete car when I bought it but virtually everything was replaced or repaired. Rebuilt Packard 352" V8 engineNOS valve covers which were then chrome plated. NOS Safety brake fluid reservoir. (no need to lift carpet to check the brake fluid)Rebuilt Ultramatic transmission. Rebuilt oil pump with the Packards International upgrade to correct the valve lifter problem. NOS power steering pump and new hoses. Pertronix Ignitor and Flame Thrower coil. NOS oil bath. NOS thermostatic control valve. NOS (upgraded) cooling fan. Radiator rebuilt. All NOS stainless trim on the lower body (except the wheel moldings) including the 4" wide lower aluminum moldings along the bottom and between the wheel wells. NOS side grilles. NOS parking lights. NOS tail lights and lenses. NOS back-up lights. New hood scoop ornament. NOS headlight rims. New side view mirrors. Re-chromed check mark mouldings. New 6" wide wheels. Wide whitewall radial tires. NOS wheel covers. Re-chromed bumpers and NOS bumper guards. NOS seat belts. New carpet. New sun visors. NOS gas and brake pedals. NOS dashboard gauges. NOS dome light. Tachometer converted to an all electric unit (does not need the sending unit on the distributor). Clock converted to a Quartz movement with a new bezel. NOS radio chrome face plate. NOS speedometer( replaced the old one which showed 116. 00 miles. )NOS radio knobs. Padded dash pad recovered in new vinyl. Recast (Shrock Brothers) correct size steering wheel. NOS headliner in the correct Light Rose Mist color (Not reproduction). Rear seat speaker added. New rear package shelf. New carpet. New kick panels. NOS window cranks and door handles. NOS horn ring. New heavy duty springs. New mechanical/electrical brake light switch (for Dot-5 silicone brake fluid)NOS brake drums. New exhaust system. Over the past 31+ years. whenever the car needed something. it got it. It starts. runs. and stops and does all of it well. I don't believe it needs anything and is driven every weekend. weather permitting. My trips are mostly a minimum of 20 to less than 40 miles. The last time it ran on a longer trip was a 265 mile round trip to our State Meet in Jacksonville FL in 2012 and a 95 mile round trip to the Daytona Speedway Turkey Run in 2013. Though many items were replaced or repaired decades ago. they all look or function as they did originally. The only thing that deteriorated was the silver mylar on the doors which started to discolor. I have a replacement (coming) that will go with the car. This is a minor ($100) fix. This car is NOT a 400 point trailer queen! It is NOT a daily driver (unless you like door dings and scratches)! I'd rate it somewhere in between. a car that will be competitive at shows. and a little too nice to take to the crowded shopping center. All the chrome. stainless. paint. and rubber are still in excellent or near excellent condition. See an older video which was done after the restoration at: https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=sjoTA3_1GuUAll questions are welcome and I promise an honest answer. On Mar-23-15 at 05:42:39 PDT. seller added the following information: I have all the titles from the previous owners as well as every receipt for every part that I've purchased for the car. and repair I've done except oil changes. I also have a spreadsheet showing the repair/part. mileage. and cost of everything. which I will include with the car. The seats and carpet are not original as no one had these items available in the 1980s. I searched for over five years for the correct material but it was nowhere to be found. Finally. the car was ready for the interior. so I had to go with the best and closest things I could find. I will offer the repair/parts history spreadsheet converted from a Corel Quatro Pro . qpr file format to a Microsoft Excel . xlsx file format to anyone bidding after (if) the reserve has been reached. Just send your email address and I'll include it as an attachment.
