1934 Packard Eight 1101 Coupe

I have a 1934 Packard Eight 1101 Coupe for sale. This Eleventh Series Packard is partway through it's restoration. This is a well cared for car with a little over 14000 original miles and considered a full classic by the AACA. This is a rare model with no sidemounts and a rear mounted spare. This combination gives the car free flowing lines without the side mounts breaking up the body the way the designers intended. There is no rust pitting on the chassis and the body sheetmetal is in very good condition. All the wood in the car is intact and solid, no need to replace any of it. The 319ci inline 8 engine, transmission, 136.25" wheelbase chassis and rear differential have all been completely rebuilt/restored. There has also been some chroming of misc parts done. The fenders, running boards and doors all need some work yet. The doors have a very small amount of rust to be repaired and the wood is perfect. The running boards need rebuilt as they are rusty and the fenders have the usual dings and a small amount of rust. The car was originally Bruce Blue Pearlite, Packard called this their “semi-luminous color” The interior is a Standard Laidlaw Broadcloth, it is a bluish gray. The rumble seat still has the original dark blue paint on it. This Packard does run and drive and tires have virtually no miles on them. A very advanced car of its day with adjustable ride control, self oiling chassis and power brakes. If you know your Packards then you are aware that most believe 1934 is the height of styling for this marque and these 1934 “project” Packards in good condition rarely come up for sale. Don’t miss out on this opportunity, these coupes are selling for well over $100K restored and this one is over halfway there!
