1970 Jaguar E-type XKE Convertible- Pale Primrose (Yellow) / Black Interior

This car was purchased in 1998 from the Barrett- Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, AZ buy the previous owner- he wanted a TOTALLY RUST FREE CAR and it was and still is RUST FREE. He then spent loads of money to get it restored. I have owned it for the past 10 years. This is what you get, some he did, some I did:

4.2 Liter Dual Overhead Cam Engine- rebuilt including custom cam shafts
5 speed Manual transmission- 4 forward/ 1 reverse- works good not sure what he had done
3- 2 barrel Weber side draft carbs mounted on new manifold
6 Iridium Spark Plugs
Magnecor Ignition Wires
Mallory Optical Trigger Distributor
Mallory Hi Output Ignition Coil
Mallory HyFire IVa Ignition Module
Tach rebuilt to handle the high output ignition system.
Speedometer Rebuilt
Custom paint job ( he spent $8-10K)
Optima Battery
Heavy duty Aluminum radiator with dual cooling fans
Kenwood Stereo/ CD (app 2 years old)and 4 Alpine speakers- hidden antenna
Poly Bushing front suspension
SS brake lines on front
4 Custom spoke wheels ( I believe Stainless Steel) for size 205-55/16 (they look great and improve the ride and handling)
Single wire oversize alternator.
Sport steering wheel
Original Steering Wheel included ( totally restored to like new condition)
New Starter
All rebuilt Air Condition parts and new compressor (needs hoses and charging to complete)
Original Shop Manual
Owners Manual
Lots more that I forgot about.
Will include original Manifold / 2 Carbs, Alternator, starter and lots of extra parts. Also lots of Technical Info, manuals books,etc. Weber tuning tools (2)
4 Pirelli tires however, they look great but are dated and should be replaced, I did not replace as I believe tires to be highly owners preference so you pick what you want.
What it needs: Tires, AC hoses and charging, fresh gas and a good run to keep the carbs running good.
Why I'm selling: I recently retired and my wife and I are moving out of state without adequate room to keep the Jag (it has always been garaged). I have owned the Jag since 2000 and have not had a lot of time to really enjoy it, I probably put less then 2000 miles in 10 years going to shows, club function, etc.
Please come see and drive. I'm approximately 17 miles due East of Philadelphia, PA.

Finally, just last fall I spent over $2,000 at John's Jaguar in San Francisco going through a list of minor things that needed attention. Now this sexy cat needs nothing to drive and enjoy. Nothing.
This is a fast, reliable E-Type. If you are looking for a Series 2 car to both show and enjoy, you've found it. The reserve price is a steal for this level of restoration. A Series 1 car in this condition would be six figures.
I'm not a dealer. I'm a regular guy who loves cars. This is the best XKE I've ever owned but I'm going to Barrett-Jackson later this month and I'd like to free up cash..

The opinion regarding the condition of anything other than a brand new car is subjective. To eliminate any chance of disappointment, you really should see and drive the car before buying.

This Jaguar has 5 chrome wire wheels, straight body panels, no rust, power steering, perfect floors, Punch P3001, 300 Watt Amplifier with Rockford Fosgate PSL-S12 subwoofer, no apparent accidents, clear title and appears to have matching numbers. Refrigeration lines need to be installed to connect the air conditioning compressor to the coil; both have already been restored. The original carburetors are included in this sale.
