1952 Packard 300 Subscriber Input Fix it or Sell it? Thunderbolt Straight 8 Eight

[packardnut]

I say fix it. Packards were known for running for years with proper care before any major repairs were needed. You might put an ad in Ebay, or, put an ad in the Packard club's website. Just dont let it languish. Packards were known for being "The American Rolls Royce." At least sell it to a Packard collector.

love the behind the scenes stuff , the headcam was better this time :)

[HoschtonBoy]

I say the Packard has way too many problems, it will break the bank trying to find parts.Put the money into a more late model such as a Mercedes and get more in return. Love those old 1980-1985 Seville's, don't know why except the model is different and elegant.

[packardnut]

@HoschtonBoy Comparing a 1980's Caddie to a Packard, really isnt a fair comparison. Packards in their day were the cars of the wealthy, and heads of state, and captains of industry. A 1980's Plastic piece of junk Caddie really isnt the same type of car. And, if you want to talk about Mercedes, they go down in value like everything else,and arent cheap to fix either!!

[CerealMarshmallows]

@HoschtonBoy LOL I like those also have one coming up soon...;-) Im gonna sell the Packard like it is i found all parts for $1000 but just dont have the time

[harryrez]

whats the story with that cutlass next to the packard

[ruwithlee1970]

Any clean g-body mid to late Eighties regals or Cutlass for sale ? Or clean good running ones for a resonable price !

[CerealMarshmallows]

@ruwithlee1970 yes a few coming soon

[ruwithlee1970]

How about a rear end out of a 50's chevy? A 350 v8 conversion would be cool !

[JW339seo]

This one seriously looks like the cars from Mafia 2 lol

[QshipHQ]

just find a rear end with the same track width and good ratio much cheaper is done all the time with old cars.

[CerealMarshmallows]

@QshipHQ Thanks for the input maybe if i find the ised parts i will do it and make her move! if its new parts i think i will sell non moving so the new buyer has a Warranty. Thanks again! Make sure & Subscribe everyone Lots of Great cars and videos coming up! Cheers Nahhan

[QshipHQ]

fix it man 

[duckywombat]

I reuploaded the video of my buick video for yah.... check it out nathan.... it's short but like i said, when i get time i will do a full and in depth :)

[bratwa]

By the way, you should also show some videos, where you e.g. drive trough san diego to your work. Especially for viewers outside US it would be very interesting to see the streets and environment where you live. Here in Europe it's very cold and gray. We could use some warm and sunny vids from San Diego!

[CerealMarshmallows]

@bratwa LOL oddly enough I just filmed and uploaded a drive from lot to the other yesterday and was connsidering if i wanted to edit and produce ot tomorrow or not..;-) Thanks for the input I will upload it I show ALOT of the other dealerships in the area where my new place is as well..;-) Cheers and hopefully well see you this spring sometime in Netherlands....;-)

[bratwa]

This vid is also cool. In some sort of weird way it made me think of summer.

[CerealMarshmallows]

@bratwa LOL its always Summer in San DIego...;-)

[jakeobee500]

It looks in good shape for the age. I think you should do the essentials just to get it going then try to sell it. Great vid as usual!

[CerealMarshmallows]

@jakeobee500 Thank You! and that is pretty much the way its going we did the $100 or so Battery and the Dist cap roter etc and i guess ill do a fuel pump so it runs and sell like it is so someone can tinker around... Parts cost ALOT and i sometime leave ALOT of money out ther by NOT parting them out but I just dont have the heart to tear apart cars like this especially this Clean!! Cheers

[JEEPnF100]

Holy CRAP is that a Saab 96? Is it the two stroke?? Or is it the V4?

[CerealMarshmallows]

@JEEPnF100 LOL..;-) its a V4 and 1 Owner with Original title Runs Great we just rebuilt the slave cylinder for the clutch and she is almost ready to go! Good Eye & Taste.. I really dig the car.. I do kinda wish it was 2 stroke though..;-)

[cheffington999]

SAVE THE PACKARD & THE STREIGHT 8!!! it is worth fixing. Why, because its a piece of american history. packards ran better and were more reliable than comparable American cars. Secondly, packard was the last U.S. automaker to convert to v8s. Have you ever driven a streight 8 before??? they have a unique feel were much smoother than v8s of that time period. and also like you said, the car has little rust and the undercarriage looked immaculate

FIX THAT PACKARD & KEEP THAT STREIGHT 8!!!!!

[DevastationFilms]

I say fix it

[Mr1spooky4]

so how much are you selling it for?

[CerealMarshmallows]

@Mr1spooky4 Havent decided yet call and make me a offer Nathan 406 544 6919 Cheers

[fastcard100]

is that white benz gona be for sale at 9:03? :)

[CerealMarshmallows]

@fastcard100 Yes and I have 3 others I always have 2-6 W140 cars in stock Nathan 406 544 6919

[DuallyDieselFord]

that looks pretty rust free. pretty rare I'd fix it or sell it but not for parts. packards can be worth a ton when restored right. plus you could always swap in another drivetrain and make it a sweet restomod

[CerealMarshmallows]

@DuallyDieselFord Yea i agree i found third member for $875 so $1200 or so and im fixed but im not gonna take it that far if I had time to do the work myself i likely would or if i could find the used part for a few hundred as it is i think it should go to someone else but like you said Not Parts this Packard is just too clean! Cheers nathan

[MegaZombieland1234]

Is that a delorean in white, also that big old 70s wagon are you gonna do a video on it?

[BRENTHENRY1989]

@MegaZombieland1234

Not a DeLorean, its a Canadian Bricklin SV-1 the 1974 models have a AMC 360 V8, and the 1975-1976 models have a Ford 351 Windsor V8, the engine is upfront and they are rear wheel drive. If you look up "Bricklin SV-1" on Wikipedia you can find more details.

[MegaZombieland1234]

@BRENTHENRY1989 thanks man

[CerealMarshmallows]
