Price: US $510.00
Up for auction is a 1947 PACKARD CLIPPER 6. This is a GREAT CAR. I found this car shelved in a barn in W Virginia. It was stored their since 1972. Prior to that, the previous owner stated that it was purchased from a couple in Alabama, and the car originated from Texas. The car spent it's life in the south and it can be confirmed, due to the low amount of rust for it's vintage. IT HAS NEVER BEEN RESTORED OR MOLESTED!
The mileage as recorded on the car is 9, 381 and noted so on the title. The speedometer DOES NOT WORK, and looking at the condition, it is probably much higher.
I purchased the car non-running and no brakes. The following was done to get it running': New battery, fuel pump, water pump, oil filter, plugs, wires and distributor cap. The motor fired right up. The brake hoses, master cylinder, and 2 front slave cylinders were replaced and new brake fluid added..Note: it still retains a 6V positive ground electrical system. Headlights, tail lights, and dash lights, horn are functional.
I purchased this car with the intent of a nice relaxing restore, but another project has found it's way into my garage, and I would like to see this wonderful car go to a new home. If you want a showroom car, you will need to do a frame up. However, it would not take much to make this a parade-show car.
All parts purchased at Kanter Auto Products in Boonton, NJ.
It STARTS RIGHT UP! IT DRIVES!., but.. it needs work. The floor boards are all solid, body parts are clean and free from any filler. It's a great piece of AMERICANA and can be brought back to it's original state. Please understand what you are buying. If you are comfortable with vintage autos and understand their rarity and operation, this is for you! :)
