1955 Packard Clipper 2Dr HT, Driver grade. Fresh engine, well sorted. $14,995

Great driver grade car that is well sorted and dependable. About 6K on fresh 352 engine that pulls strong, overhauled 3rd member, has the dependable 3 speed manual trans. Many new parts, most everything works.
Rebuilt carb, generator, starter, dist, water pump, radiator, wiper motor, new clutch & related. Recent wheel bearing service with new seals throughout. Rebuilt driveshaft. New dual exhaust. New shocks. Comes with original 320 engine plus a PS pump & pulleys should you want to upgrade.
Strong chrome & glass, orig interior. Older straight repaint with some chips, etc. Original interior with recent carpet that kinda fits.
Issues: Torsion level needs to be gone through, older tires are a little hard so I have not had her over 85 mph. (yet) Body has some filler but presents rather well and besides, this is not a 25K show car. Also, the car should be converted to a tandem master cyl for safety but because of the TL suspension, this would take a little fabrication.
Bright side is you are getting at least 5K in free labor!
The car is a blast to drive with the 3-on-the-tree and deserves to upgraded to OD.
Engine has mild bowl work with hardened seats, modern valve springs. The color combo really gets the looks and women seem drawn to it.
Reason I am selling? I have already replaced it with my forever car & really need the dough.
Please note that it is more difficult these days than ever to suffer fools so please, serious parties only. No trades

 

Some additional photos

 

The big Iola show is coming up and she should be in the show car area that Friday
Just replaced the ignition switch & found a stuck vent cable...

 

The car ran great up to Iola & back, had a few tire kickers...May consider a trade involving Pontiacs or IHs.
Brakes are smooth, quiet & straight like they should be. Drives super after all the sorting I have done.
With the same bore, stroke & firing order as a 350 Chev, the exhaust note sounds great!

 

Lots of Sumner left, let's talk.

 

Fly in and drive home, this car is road trip ready. It needs to be gone before storage season.

Coming out of storage soon. She would definitely benefit from new rubber but I am reluctant to buy someone else new tires. I would go half's with the new buyer.

 

Needs a new home.

Interested? Let's talk.

 

Would be interested in partial or even trades. Thinking 60's GM cars, maybe a '60s truck?

 

Going to post this up on a web site soon.If you think you are interested, it may be worth a call.
Only put about 50 miles on her this summer.
