Pam and Paul's 1928 Packard 526, barnfind, tornado survivor.. and restored by Paul!

 It takes a before and after to appreciate the amount of commitment and dedication, and the level of excellance that people have put into their car restoration. My compliments!

the window on the right? That was the 2nd floor of the garage, and the Packard is somewhere inside that 2 into one story garage, in pieces, just as it was about to be reassembled because the pieces and parts were recently finished

waste 180 thousand dollars, pay for a 4 door 6 cylinder automatic to be masterly crafted into a 2 door Hemi dragster, then try to sell it because you are crazy. All true

 It's not restored, it would still be a 4 door, 6 cyl, automatic. This guy is not easy to talk to, because for the last 5 or 6 years I've seen him at car shows he is constantly angry about how the world is against him. Well, he's rich enough to waste money like this, but not smart enough to get an ASE certified, or BAR (Bureau of Automotive Repair) licensed car crafter to do it his way. It's a stunning example of big money, big troubles

Nos or reproduction parts were not used where original could be repaired or reconditioned to like new. The car is incredible really. But who else but this guy who wanted a car exactly like this but didn't want to buy one, would blow 175-180 thou for it? 

Christie is blogging about her 74 VW bug, and making it a good reliable driver again (some past owner put in house carpet, and painted it purple)

 Before and after photos to let you knwo what she had to deal with, but read about it, its another amusing story of what idiots do to cars before us car lovers give them a good home
