Here is a 1953 Packard Clipper that we custom built for a customer back in 2007. We are MidSouthern Restoration in Cookeville, TN. This customer had many cars restored and serviced here and after several years wants to thin down his car collection to make room for more. This car was built with comfort in mind and was built to be driven anywhere, anytime. The ultimate family classic cruiser with all the creature comforts and amenties of a modern car. The customer wanted a four door from the 50's with a new powertrain and suspension for drivability. A local "old car" car lot had this Packard Clipper for sale and it was the canidate for the project. The pictures posted here show the end result six years after it was complete. You can go to our web site www.midsr.com and check out the Clipper and story in 24 pictures start to finish if you look under Packard on the home page. You can see the level of restoration to build this car to better inform you of bidding.

This Packard was a full frame off and the old car had minimal rust to repair. The new 2005 LSII that was scheduled to go into a 2005 SSR Chevrolet truck was bought new on a crate from a dealer who buys left overs off the production line. A new GM 4L60E 4 speed automatic was purchased to compliment the motor and mated together. The front of the chassis received a new modern Mustang II front suspension with power rack and pinion steering and large crossed drilled front rotors for the disc brakes. A Corvette style master cylinder was installed on firewall to handle the braking. The original Packard rear end with a perfect gear ratio was rebuilt and used and has proved to be very worthy. There are drum brakes on the rear. Electric fans were used in conjuction with an NOS revamped Packard radiator to keep the motor cool. The SSR engine cover had to be purchased seperately with a VIN from a SSR Chevy truck. Once the body was smoothed out and all Senior Packard Chrome was found and fit, the body was painted Wimbledon White and reassembled. The chrome parts are from 51,53, 54 and 55 Packards and much $$$ was spent on rechroming to show status.

The original guages were sent out and proffesionally rebuilt and converted to electronic to match the motor. The original steering column was retained, but shortened to keep the original big wheel out of your face. The original shifter was modified to run the four speed automatic and a trophy shop cut a new indicator showing where the gears are.

Vintage Air provided the two A/C units. There is one in the front and a trunk unit. You stay cool in this car. The rear one works well for hot night cruising when you roll down the electric windows and want to be cool. The power windows work with a touch up or down on the rare NOS Senior series car window cranks. The car radio was custom built to fit the original hole with no modifications. The Packard logo was silk screened on the face. The radio is a MP3 player with AM/FM stereo and a 10 CD changer in the trunk. The customer picked the old looking red fabric design and white leather type material to create a clean stunning interior. The front and rear seats are more comfortable than most home couches.

The motor is drive by wire with 2006 GTO gas pedal and if the check engine light comes on, the computer can be scanned for problems. This has never occurred and car runs out sweet. There was a custom made Stainless Steel fuel tank fabricated that fits in the original place perfect with a high pressure electric pump inside.

The body underside and inside body shell has had spray liner applied to aid in noise reduction. The car is whisper quiet untill the motor comes to life. A large quiet muffler was installed. The factory "Cats" are still on the car and it records 23 MPG.

This car cost much to build and selling price will be a fraction of that. The odometer shows it was driven about 4050 miles. It placed first at the very first car show entered and has been in magazines from a Nashville TN show. This is a classic family cruiser with awesome power and looks. Fly in drive home. Only serious bidders only. You better have a higher ebay score of 5 to bid or will be dropped. You can call Al Morgan for more info 931-432-6377. Out of country bidders can contact by email through eBay or call. Out of country bidders will be dropped untill qualified. Car is in Cookeville, TN with Nashville airport is 70 miles away. Test drives are welcomed.

Ferrari borrows $2.6 billion to finance FCA spinoff

Tue, Dec 1 2015

Ferrari announced Monday that it is borrowing about $2.6 billion to finance its spinoff from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Here's how it breaks down: Ferrari NV, the automaker's parent company based in the Netherlands, is taking out loans totaling 2.5 billion euros. That's equivalent to $2.64 billion at current exchange rates, and is divided between a term loan of $2.12 billion and a revolving credit facility of $529 million. The larger term loan "will be used to refinance indebtedness owing to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles," among other purposes. That ought to constitute the lion's share of the $2.38 billion which the Prancing Horse marque was, according to reports last year, slated to pay its current parent company in order to help FCA fund its ambitious growth plans. The separate line of credit is earmarked "to be used from time to time for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Ferrari group." Though Ferrari is not expected to take any other Fiat Chrysler properties with it, the "group" in this case would include its various financial services and distribution arms around the world that may have been separately incorporated. As noted in the statement below, the financial arrangement "represents a further step towards the separation of Ferrari from the FCA Group," following the separate stock issues from both companies as independent from each other. FERRARI N.V. SIGNS ˆ2.5 BILLION SYNDICATED CREDIT FACILITY Ferrari N.V. (NYSE: RACE) ("Ferrari") announced today that it has entered into a Âˆ2.5 billion syndicated loan facility with a group of ten bookrunner banks. The facility comprises a bridge loan (the "Bridge Loan") and a term loan (the "Term Loan") of Âˆ2 billion in aggregate and a revolving credit facility of Âˆ500 million (the "RCF"). Proceeds of the Bridge Loan and Term Loan will be used to refinance indebtedness owing to Fiat Chrysler AutomobilesN.V. (NYSE: FCAU) ("FCA") and other indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes. Proceeds of the RCF may be used from time to time for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Ferrari group. The Bridge Loan has a 12 month maturity with an option for Ferrari to extend once for a six-month period. Ferrari intends to refinance the Bridge Loan prior to its maturity with longer term debt, including through capital markets or other financing transactions. The Term Loan, which comprises a majority of the total facility, and the RCF each have a maturity of five years.

Ferrari IPO could come any day now

Sun, Jul 12 2015

According to Bloomberg, Fiat Chrysler Automotive Sergio Marchionne told reporters at the Toronto Global Forum that the Ferrari IPO could come any day now. "We are days away from filing the prospectus," said Marchionne, who declined to confirm whether rumors of involvement from UBS Group AG, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Goldman Sachs Group were accurate. In addition to an expected filing in New York, Marchionne hinted that a secondary filing could take place in Milan, Italy. Although the FCA Chief Executive didn't offer any expected sum for Ferrari, he had previously suggested that an IPO for the iconic Italian brand could be worth $1 billion, ringing the registers to the tune of 10 percent of the company's $11 billion valuation. According to Bloomberg, that potential sum is significantly higher than its own internal figures indicate after taking a poll of analysts who we assume must know a heck of a lot more about such things than we do. Considering how close we apparently are to the actual filing, though, we probably won't have to wait long to find out. Another hot topic any time Sergio is the subject of reporter questioning is a potential merger with General Motors or another large, full-line automaker. It seems there aren't any new revelations to reveal on the consolidation front, though Marchionne told reporters there were no plans to mount a hostile takeover of GM or any "other, less optimal" partners.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic CarsÂ” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.Â $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.Â $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.
