Powered by a virile V-12 powerplant, and sporting all of the amenities, this handsome roadster is ready for some top down cruising and fun.

Recently treated to all new hides on the seats, complete carpeting, and a brand new top, this car needs none of the expensive repair work typically associated with some older convertibles.

Aside from a few minor scratches and dings in the mirror black finish, this car is wonderful.

The triple black wardrobe has always been an eye catcher, and it is really true on this car.

The mileage has just tipped over 40,000, and doing the math shows it rolled an average of only a tad over 1200 miles a year, on average.

The A/C blows ice-cold, and mechanically the car just passed the rigid New York State motor vehicle inspection, which includes safety and emissions.

It is a super nice driver, and will certainly bring pleasure, and enjoyment, to the next owner.

Selling my black 1974 XKE Roadster I bought the car back in '07 at a decent price with the intentions of using it as a reference car for another '74 roadster restoration. Thought about keeping it for the wife to play with but, now it's time to sell. The car was originally bought in Beverly Hills and then made it's way to NY a few years ago, that is where I purchased it. It is a very nice driver, it's original color was primrose but, some where along the line someone painted it black. Even though the engine rails were also painted black, the engine appears to be mostly original. The spare tire tub remains primrose as does the area behind the dash. I don't think I've put 50 miles on the the car in the last year and a half. But, here is what has been done since taking ownership: Replace relay and rewire fans (had an aftermarket toggle switch) Replace float switch in gas tank Replace oil sender Repair open circuit on tachometer Replace parking light switch Replace all four ball joints Replace tie rod ends Replace rear brake rotors Replace rear brake pads and hand brake pads Replace brake reaction valve on master cylinder Remove both right bank carburetors, repair vacuum leak, replace gaskets Oil change Replace spark plugs Remove gas tank, clean and replace Replace fuel filter. As far as I know, everything is working fine except the clock, I just noticed it quit the other day.
