1965 Jaguar 3.8S , I now it is not an XKE, but ebay does not have a category for these cars. Exceptionally straight, rust free , and as an added bonus it starts, runs and moves under its own power .
RUNNING , moving project that has had a lot of recent money and work put into it to get it to this point. Interior very shabby, body very straight and rust free. Headliner intact. Have any questions or want to make an offer or buy the car? Ping me at the number in the ad headline, thank you. Messages here are usually missed and ignored.
I recently acquired this car on a trade. It has been parked since the early 1990s. I spent about $2500 buying the following things, brand new and installing : New battery, gear reduction starter motor, complete electronic ignition system (distributor, coil, wires, plugs) , brake master cylinder. Rebuilt SU 1 3/4" carburetors , oil and air filters , fuel tank sender unit and new SU fuel pump .. converted to negative ground ...
One fuel tank removed and dipped/ sealed/ painted and new sending unit installed. Car now starts easily on the button, and idles fine and sounds great.
Exhaust system was new before I received car.
Car goes into gear and can be yard driven. I replaced brake master cylinder and brakes pump up enough to stop, and do not drag.
I have NOT driven car on street, tires are disintegrating. Interior is very shabby, black vinyl has tears, wood dash trim is flaking. Switchgear works, automatic shifter handle has fallen out of the column and requires some filddling to fit and select gear.
Lights all work as does horn.
Wipers and heater blower motor do not work. I suspect motors are seized.
Car is missing front bumper at the moment. I may have another available to me.
Spoke wire wheels look good , but may have some surface rust.
Headliner all intact , but a little dirty.
Trunk clean and rust free with most cardboard trim present.
Body has dings and nicks but overall impression is it looks very nice.
I am looking to sell quickly , this is a great opportunity to buy one of these S types that moves under its own power and is ready for you to finish. 60 year old car in remarkably straight and solid condition here. Youll spend most of your time working on interior, depending on how nice you want it to be.
Any questions? Want to make an offer? Call me. My number is in the ad headline, and here it is again : 912.4148993.
