Auction description:
Great chance to own a very original and unmolested XKE. My Father purchased this car in the early '80s. It is not a show car, but was fantastic driver, and in good condition. It was only driven a few times a year for the past 10 years. He would take it to lunch, and then go "stretch it's legs", before parking it back in his garage. I put a battery charger on it, and got it running very easily. He had new weather stripping, new headliner, new carpet, and new vinyl seat covers professionally installed in 2006 at a cost of nearly 2000 dollars. My father was unhappy with the way the doors closed after the weather stripping was installed. Rear seats are still the original leather. After starting the car and letting it run for 5 minutes or so, they was some tranny fluid leaking. I am sure this car will need some work before it can be safely driven for any distance. Even though it was always garaged and well cared for, rubber does dry out and crack with time. My guess would be the brakes and front suspension should all be gone thru. I have taken pictures of most of the imperfections in the paint that I noticed. Included with this car is another full set of wire wheels, and an original XKE wood steering wheel.
