  • Hawk worth saving?

    I found this close to my work

    Not sure of the year, but there wasn't many Packard hawks

    It's a 58 Packard Hawk, ONLY 588 were built. It's "the" last Packard produced.

    In one word, Yes by all means try to save it.

        If it has a t-85/od gearbox in it, it is really rare.

          As stated, it is a 1958 (the only year of Packard Hawks). There were 588 built.
          I would not attempt to restore that car, but there are a lot of rare/valuable parts there. If you do not want to go through the difficulty of parting it out and selling individual parts, you could put the whole car up for sale (here and/or eBay).

              It looks like a good shell. Definitely save it.

                Save it! Open the driver's door and get the VIN # for us.

                    If you get it cheap enough, you might buy a regular hawk that's got good enough parts, and use it to save the Packard...
                    Definately worth saving.

                      If you have the space and the seller isn't asking for a king's ransome, save it and pass on to another, who might have the skills to save the car... unless you have the skills in which case save it!

                        Again...It never fails to shock me how many Desirable cars keep poping up. even in this condition. Someone back in the day just did not want to see it melted down and sent to china. Its story would be great to hear

                          DO NOT PART OUT THIS CAR ! ! Try to buy it. If you can get it, assess it for restoration. If its outside your abilities, there would certainly be a buyer out there willing to pick it up. This is an extremely rare and desirable car. Even if you cannot do it yourself, you could make a little money from the deal.

                            I would definitely try to purchase it! Its worth saving for sure. I would not part it out if I were you. A car like this is maybe worth more as a whole than in parts. If it is beyond your abilities to restore, sell it to someone who can and make a nice profit.

                              As Others have said,try to acquire it and keep it together for Your Self or Another? hopefully the Parts that are not visible are still actually with the Car.
