HOLY CRAP!!!!! That rocks!!! I'd love to have that in my garage!
|
I find that kind of sad... beauty like that shouldn't be locked away.
|
I simply CANNOT BELIEVE how good condition the interiors are in.......that is just flat out incredible..........
I bet that would fetch in the hundreds of thousands of dollars......I hope he has them insured for that amount...... |
Wow. That had to be a exciting tour. Not only are they great, rare cars, but the provenance of that Rolls relating it to Rita Hayward and the Shah is fantastic.
Is that estate accessible to the general public? If it's not confidential, where is it? |
Incredible. I expected to see mildew all over the inside. The wood looks brand new. So do the leather seats. I'm surprised the tires are also holding air so well. I'm sure these cars would bring a huge amount as is but restored, wow, can't even imagine. Restoration would cost $10s of thousands, though. At least.
|
How much are they worth anyway?
|
if they were both fully restored, the Packard would probably be good for about $90k. the Rolls could get close to $200k if it could be proved Hayworth owned it.

I'm sure they'd score some high points if he cleaned them up and put them on display at a concours show. |
I wonder what else is in that garage...

Packard was a major nameplate for luxury autos in the 30's and 40's. right up there with Rolls. like most other autos from that era, there arent that many left.
|
spend some money and get these treasures in top condition....!!!!
xoxoxoo |
SHOULD. NOT. BE. LOCKED. AWAY.
Amazing cars. |
yeah, ditto on the feeling sad thing. If he's not going to restore them he should sell them to someone who will, they are only going to fall into further disrepair.
|
I wouldn't be surprised if those cars in "as is" condition are worth more than fully restored versions.
Just from watching the latest Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and other such classy car shows, the unrestored "all original everything" cars are getting as much or more attention than the perfectly restored cars. To many collectors it also seems there is a growing distaste for the overrestored. |

those old cars are worth a lot. the Olds was unrestored. only thing they put on it were new tires as the originals were still on the rims. http://blog.hemmings.com/wp-content/...10/Limited.jpg |
That 1935 Packard Twelve Convertible Sedan is in excellent shape, I found one that sold at auction for $181,500
Lot 192 http://www.rmauctions.com/AuctionRes...SaleCode=AM06# Here's another restored 35 Packard Twelve http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z...n/default.aspx |
That was quite a garage find. It would sure be tough to put a price on a Rolls that once belonged to Rita Hayworth. The interior of the Pacard is perfect to me just the way it is.
|
Those cars still run?
There is a local guy here that has a Ford Model T that he still drives to the car shows. |
I doubt they run, and that is sad. Having been parked for that long, significant work will likely be needed to ever hear those engines purr again.
|
Well I know someone who found an old Plymouth satellite that had been stored for 25 years(I think he said 25). Its fired up with new gas and a little shot of quick start. but depends on how it was stored 2.
|
any news on this "barn" find.....update???
xoxoxoo |
Please encourage TLC to be given :(
