Packard Clipper (1956)
for sale

Price: US $9,900.00

Description:

You are bidding on my 1956 Packard Clipper Custom Constellation. The car was purchased as part of
a stash of Packard cars and parts in 2006. The car has a number of unique features..
It came equipped with a twin 4bbl intake and carb. During the course of the restoration somehow the carbs refused to function even after 2 rebuilds. The setup goes with the car, I WILL NOT SEPARATE. I had a single 4 bbl intake that I used to make it run. The single 4bbl IS the front carb from the twin 4 set. My mechanic seems to think that the accelerator pump needs work. I just did not want to spend more time on it, that is why I switched it over. The original owner was a Packard employee in Chicago and he seniorized the car with senior front fenders and grille. It also has a Caribbean hood with twin scoops. The 352 engine has been professionally rebuilt and runs great. 0 miles on the engine since rebuild. The transmission is tight and works fine WW Tires are new Bumpers front and rear have been chromed as well as the Dagmars and the exhaust extensions. Paint has been professionally done in Black and Jamaica Yellow. Brakes are all new. Interior is all done in the proper Black and Jamaica Yellow cross/hatch pattern along with new carpetThe torsion level system works good. I will also include the A/C components that I have: Compressor, rear air blower, dryer, mounting bracket, triple groove pulley. I do not have the condenser nor the under dash switch. I was planning on having some fun with the car out on the local show circuit, but the economy being what it is, there will be no chance of that. The car needs to SELL, that’s SELL not give or donateIf you want more pictures I will send you whatever you need. I have before, during and after restoration.Keep in mind, the car is about 98% complete but there a few minor things to be done, I may be able to have some of them done by sale time. Lastly I have absolutely no major road time on the car so it will have to be shipped. I have a shipper that has quoted me a very decent price.
