Rare Opportunity to own a well preserved, original example of the very desirable 1969 Jaguar XKE Series II Coupe showing 53,859 miles offered by Gas Monkey Garage!The E-Type was initially designed and shown to the public as a rear-wheel drive grand tourer in two-seater coupé form.On its release Enzo Ferrari called it "The most beautiful car ever made"! Hallmarks of Series 2 cars are open headlights without glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper, re-positioned and larger front indicators and tail lights below the bumpers, better cooling aided by an enlarged "mouth" and twin electric fans, and uprated brakes.The interior and dashboard were also redesigned; rocker switches that met US health and safety regulations were substituted for toggle switches.A new steering column was fitted with a collapsible section in the event of an accident.

I’m offering this very solid and honest Texas car with the optional Factory A/C just as we found it so you can appreciate the incredible condition it’s in. It was owned by a very enthusiastic admirer of the XKE (he owned several!) for most of its life. He was able to enjoy and maintain it as it should have been until he was no longer able to enjoy driving it anymore. At that point he focused on maintaining and preserving it in an indoor building (last inspected in 1983). The carpets were removed from the floor and a thick waxy/oily coating was applied to preserve the floor panels (I remember something called Waxol from the past). This preserved the floors and tub from the fate of most E-Types (rust) and the result is this extremely well preserved, but not restored XKE Coupe. Please see all pics (especially the spare tire tub!) The doors and hinges are extremely solid and tight. Included are the original floor carpets along with a period correct set of Sisal floor mats. Present as well are the original owners manuals including the service charts and portfolio!

The motor oil is clean and full, coolant tank looks clean and full as well. The motor turns and the carbs are free of corrosion and move freely. This 1969 Jaguar XKE has been stored for nearly 30 years and hasn’t been started or driven in quite some time, therefore it will need to be completely serviced before attempting to drive it for the first time. Due to our filming schedule we will not be able to service this XKE(sold as is/where is).

The exterior is in amazing condition having survived with very minimal rust or damage (the paint has been re sprayed at some time in the past and while it still has a glossy appearance there is an area on the nose where it didn’t adhere well) and all of the chrome bumpers and trim are present making for an easy exterior restoration.( please note the rear window seal has deteriorated and will need to be replaced during the restoration along with the front windshield seal, which has deteriorated as well) there is a small chip in the passenger side of the windshield that has started to spread into a crack(unable to see it in the pics).

The interior is also in incredible condition for having not been restored. The dash is complete and clean (because I will not attempt to start this car, I cannot determine if the gauges operate as they should). The seats are complete and operational with wear showing in the leather surfaces. All door panels, interior panels and the rear luggage compartment are in phenomenal condition (I don’t believe I’ve ever seen any this nice on an unrestored car!) as well as the headliner.

Underside pics reveal a very solid tub and mechanical components that are unmolested with minimal rust present except the exhaust (which will need replacing during the restoration).

“I’ve been obsessed with cars since… I was born.”

Richard Rawlings had a car by age fourteen, and had gone through nearly twenty cars by the time he was out of high school. His father worked three jobs his whole life—two to make ends meet for the family, and one to buy toys. Neither a mechanic nor a fabricator, his father took pride in his car collection. Needless to say, this stayed with Richard.

Rawlings was always working, and always chasing pipe dreams. By twenty-one, he’d been a cop, a fireman, and a medic. But he wanted more. After a rough stint of sleeping on his sister’s couch, he got his act together and entered the world of trading sales. Here he solidified his business savvy, and went on to build an advertising and printing firm from the ground up. The company grew to become a “juggernaut” in the Dallas area. A mere four years later, the company sold, and with that money Gas Monkey Garage was born.

Aaron Kaufman worked at a shop Rawlings frequented, and loved the stuff Rawlings brought in for him. Kaufman always went above and beyond for him. When Gas Monkey opened, Rawlings called him up and asked if he wanted to work for him. The premise was simple: Rawlings wanted the fastest, most expensive, most badass hot rod shop to be found, with apparel and a show on Discovery to boot. Kaufman thought he was crazy, but signed on anyway. Eight years later, the shop is all that and more.

They owe their success to a strict business model. They don’t buy parts—only whole models without too much rust. Owing to his business background, Rawlings has a handle on the market, and knows the price he ought to pay. In ninety days or less, the job will be done, whether they start with a decent model or a carcass. Then it’s onto the next job without hesitation. If a finished car sits too long, Rawlings will sell it at a loss. He’s interested in a killer operation, not a stockpile.

Their roles within the shop are clear. Rawlings is first and foremost an entrepreneur. He wants to sell a style, push a brand, and make sure Gas Monkey Garage never stops growing. Kaufman runs the shop, armed with his mastery of mechanics, electrics, and fabrication. The dynamic is vital, the common ground being their mutual love of classic cars. Rawlings has always been an old soul when it comes to cars, and his style has brought in a steady flow of clientele who trust his no-B.S. methods. “Anyone can go out and buy a Ferrari.” Rawlings’ dream car? “A 1932 Ford Roadster—the holy grail of hot rods.”
