Vehicle Detail
PARTIALLY RESTORED 1939 PACKARD V-12 SERVICE / UTILITY VEHICLE. THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAD MANY USES, INCLUDING FORESTRY AND FIRE SERVICES, AND PACKARD DEALERSHIPS. I PUT SEVERAL PICTURES OF SIMILAR VEHICLES INTO THE PHOTO GALLERY. ONE PICTURE WAS FROM THE PACKARD MUSEUM SHOWCASE IN OHIO, AND OTHER PICTURES FROM THE JULY 15, 1939 PACKARD MONTHLY SERVICE LETTER. THE VEHICLE BODY WAS COMPLETELY DISMANTLED, SAND BLASTED OR STRIPPED OF PAINT, AND A PROTECTIVE PRIMER APPLIED TO STOP CORROSION. NEW BOLTS AND SCREWS WERE RE-APPLIED TO MAKE FOR EASY DISMANTELING FOR FURTHER BODY AND MECHANICAL WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR FULL RESTORATION. THE FRAME IS SOLID AND IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE. THERE IS AN OPENING BETWEEN THE CAB AND BED. I REPLACED THE PORCELAIN DOORS AND HINGES WITH OAK. THE DOORS WILL COME WITH SALE OF VEHICLE. NOT MUCH WAS DONE TO THE INTERIOR, SO SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THAT IS NEEDED. MOST OF THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DOOR HARDWARE IS THERE AND IN GOOD CONDITION. THE DASH ALSO IS ALMOST COMPLETE, INCLUDING A " NOS " INSTRUMENT GAUGE CLUSTER WITH 1 MILE ON THE ODOMETER. THOUSANDS WAS SPENT ON NEW WOOD (ASH) FLOOR SILLS, CUSTOM MADE BY A PACKARD RESTORATION EXPERT. UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO ENGINE IN VEHICLE, BUT STILL HAS IT'S ORIGINAL RARE TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, AND OTHER COMPONENTS. REPLACEMENT ENGINES ARE OUT THERE, OR YOU CAN OPT FOR A MORE MODERN ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN. MANY OTHER PARTS NOT SHOWN WILL GO WITH SALE, OTHERS WILL BE NEEDED FOR COMPLETE RESTORATION. ONLY 446 V-12'S WERE BUILT IN 1939, THIS COULD BE THE ONLY ONE OF THIS TYPE LEFT! THIS IS A GREAT PROJECT VEHICLE, IT ALREADY TURNS HEADS, CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW NICE IT WILL BE WHEN COMPLETED! SOME TEMPORARY FIXES WERE DONE TO SHOW POTENTIAL OF VEHICLE. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE, BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING AND DELIVERY. PAYMENT MUST BE MADE WITHIN 7 DAYS OF WINNING BID. VEHICLE COMES WITH BILL OF SALE ONLY. GOOD LUCK BIDDING!On Jul-26-13 at 10:46:04 PDT, seller added the following information: Vehicle came off assembly line as a Club Sedan. I have the names and addresses of the 2 previous owners.
