Lot 691
1953 Packard Caribbean Convertible 2-Door Convertible and Clipper Parts Car
Exterior Color: Gray Interior Color: Green Fuel: Gasoline Transmission: Automatic Title: Clear VIN: 2662K423043 One of 750 ever built. Obviously a very big project, but the car is predominately complete & solid, with a trunk full of brightwork and misc parts. Engine rotates, not seized. Starter works as expected. 12 volt system. New plugs appear to have never seen fuel. Compression results indicate good block, bad rings / and a bad valve. Dry: 1:50 2:60 3:70 4:100 5:140 6:95 7:0 8:55 WET: 1:105 2:80 3:110 4:140 5:145 6:110 7:0 8:175. I do not know these cars well enough to know what the "rust prone" spots are, if you give me some specific locations to take pictures of it I will try to accommodate that. If the winning bidder didn't want the clipper I would not *make* them take it, but I'm not going to separate them in the auction...we bought it for parts for this car.
