This is a Barn Find. It is from Dick Benjamin's ( r.i.p.) Packard Corral in Temecula. This is what he moved the Packards around on his ranch with. Nancy ( his surviving wife ) did not know much about it although I inquired about it when I was down there and she was liquidated the ranch. She called me months later and asked if i wanted it. So i went down and got it. It is super cool. Has Been in the field a year too long. ( two years actually) It fired right up after i hotwired it and put in some fresh gas. IT HAS A 348 EARLY CHEVY FOUR BARREL BIG BLOCK IN IT WITH CORRESPONDING POWERGLIDE. The numbers and dates says the motor is out of an Impala. It purrs. even covered in rat shit. It drives. Though the brakes are bad. they work but they leak out almost after a few pumps. Bad wheel cylinders ( from sitting ) the tires on the back are 16" Mudders. and in Good shape. the tires on the front are 16.5" and are shit. original rear end FLOATER eight lug ( see photo) . wires are a mess. scary really . rewire a must. the interior is decayed to steel. nothing much left but metal. and rat shit. but it is there. (see Photos) The Tow rig hitch/winch all homemade but works. But it is Fabricated. The starting price is what somebody already offered me locally for it. ( a friend) i would keep it but i need back surgurgy and i can hardly move. So i am trying eBay to see what becomes of it. bring a battery. if you want to drive it onto the trailer. located in Hollywood , Ca. you arrange delivery unless it is under a hundred miles. ( i can deliver under a hundred miles for nominal fee. storage payed till 15th. of March. after that $100 a month. $500 non-refundable deposit (PayPal)within 24 hours of close of auction. clear Pink slip in hand. registered non-op PAY PAL PREFERRED. but other means can be arranged the vin and other photos are in the shop. i will edit it later i just wanted to get this posted and up. thanks everybody On Mar-01-13 at 07:58:14 PST, seller added the following information: Update: i went to the shop last night and got the info pack.
