Other Makes Packard Clipper (1955)
for sale

Price: US $4,900.00

Description:

I am re-listing my 1955 Packard Clipper project. Below is the write-up of my first ad.
I am now offering the car again and will consider selling the car as a roller, less the new chrome bumpers and transmission, and the missing parts listed in the write-up below. Price as Roller $2, 500.
Price for the “new chrome” plated original bumpers (show quality) plus the original Borg Warner heavy duty three-speed overdrive transmission: $2, 500, that's the cost of the chrome alone.
1955 Packard Clipper (Two Door Hardtop)
Burgundy Paint with Champagne Gold Top.
Special order with Stick Shift Overdrive
and 352 V8 engine, the largest engine in 1955.
Opportunity to own a true vintage collector car,
with only 35, 000 original miles.
Ordered new and spent its whole life in East Texas.
Needs assembly and finishing.
This is a straight and solid car that I personally have known about and been familiar with since it was nearly new.
I got it from a car collector friend of mine that took the car apart to restore. Before he could restore it, his memory went bad (dementia) and he was unable to finish it.
I have most all the parts and the paint is mostly done. Some of the parts are missing because the friend I got it from can't remember where they are, the drive shaft, heads and pistons. He also lost the title or can't remember where it is. I have the car with a bill of sale and selling with a bill of sale.
The paint has three or four coats of base color and I have enough paint for one final base coat plus two gallons of clear coat.
I have the original engine, original transmission, seats, glass (some of the side glass is cracked), windshield and back window very good. Bumpers have been chromed at a cost of over two thousand dollars (show quality). Starter rebuilt, has power steering pump and radiator. Most all the original trim, including door panels, all the parts are very clean & boxed separately.
