Studebaker J model Packard (1956)
for sale

Price: US $1,025.00

Description:

I purchased this car some time ago with the intentions of doing a full restoration. I own 2 restaurants and have 3 children, for now this is not a possibility. This is potentially a high dollar car. Although it is not a factory supercharged model. It is nonetheless a rare model Golden Hawk J equipped with a Packard V8 engine. Allegedly I am the 3rd owner and this is an original Pennsylvania car.
The previous owner did some parts removal and began restoration to include rebuilding the carburetor, starter, and generator. The car appears to be complete. Door panels and trim were removed. Door panels are patterns only, stainless trim is in excellent condition. Dash assembly is in nice, clean, original condition. It currently has late model steering wheel.
As far as the rust, the biggest offense is the rear trunk pan as pictured. There are some holes on the bottom of the 2 doors and a half of dozen quarter sized holes under the hood and misc. areas as I can see. The good news is that the body overall is extremely straight. I cannot find bondo anywhere. The doors open and close well. Remarkably the floors are in excellent shape. I believe they were re-manufactured and a great job at that. The carburetor is off the motor and was fully rebuilt, the intake was always covered. At one point the car rested in a barn for 25 years.
This car does not run and will need going over. There are no dents and the front grille and bumper are super straight. This car is not a parts car. It is a solid 99% complete, rolling restoration candidate. I have done my best to be accurate about its description. I have a clear PA title and key for the car. If you have any reservations about the car's condition, please feel free to come and inspect the car before bidding. I take bidding very seriously, so please be a responsible person and follow through with your intentions. The car is located near the intersections of highway 248 and 191 in Nazareth, PA. 8 miles East of Allentown. The zip code is 18064. The car will need to be trailered or rollbacked. I will accept purchases from an overseas buyer and I will assist international shipping in loading the car. A nominal loading fee may apply at my discretion. You can reach me directly at 570-592-0315.
