Hemmings Find of the Day – Katrina cars

After yesterday’s $5.3 million Ferrari, just to prove that I’m an equal-opportunity classified-ad skimmer, I went digging around the bargain section of classifieds on Hemmings.com. There’s at least a couple pages’ worth of sub-$1,000 listings, mostly for parts cars, but I found these two – a 1951 Packard 300 and a 1962 Chevrolet Corvair – at the $1,000 level, both being sold out of New Orleans. Your first thought upon hearing that city’s name is correct: They’re both flood cars, a shame in both cases because the Packard seems to have been fully restored and on the road prior to Katrina and the Corvair is a turbo Monza Spyder coupe. Project cars – if not parts cars – for sure, but it goes to show that not everything on Hemmings.com is a multi-million-dollar showpiece.
