That sounds awfully cheap... is that just the going rate, bearing in mind I know nothing about such things.

I’m not sure what the “normal” price range for these is. From the auction literature: This Packard Clipper has new brakes, rotor, wires and voltage regulator. It’s powered by a 245/105hp Packard engine mated to a 3-on-the-tree manual transmission. It includes the original sales brochure and owner’s manual”.

That Packard was in my price range before I picked up my 90s celica a few years back

Would have been better for the ladies than a mid 90s sports car I'm sure.

Packard was a luxury car brand. The paint color can't help its value. Improbable that paint is the reflection of an original Packard color.
