Opening bid $40,000, reserve not met, no bids 6 days left in auction. Car now said to be in San Clemente, California. 38k miles.

Sellers description:
one of the best V-12 E-types you will find at any price. Stunning in every way. The best color combination (silver on black). Just about everything on this vehicle has been redone to factory specs within the last 250 miles, and the vehicle is now better than new. Starts; runs and drives like an absolute dream (with two minor imperfections noted below).

This is a 1972, so it does not have the huge rubber bumpers of the later V-12s. The body is perfectly straight, there is no rust, dings or dents. The factory undercoating still looks like new!

Work completed within the last 24 months includes:

· new exhaust system (sounds phenomenal);
· beautiful new silver paint;
· 5 new Pirelli's;
· new interior and top;
· new Pioneer XM/I-pod stereo system (I have the original stereo);
· full brake system redo (new master cylinder, hoses, Brembo pads, rotors);
· new wheel bearings;
· fuel system;
· front suspension (upper and lower ball joints, sway bar mounts, power steering rack, and tie rod ends);
· rear axle U-joints;
· all fluids replaced;
· cooling system (radiator, fans, hoses, clamps, thermostat and gaskets);
· all four carbs rebuilt and tuned;
· transmission mount bushings replaced;
· valves (all 24 valves replaced, cam towers resealed, cylinder head re-milled);
· ignition system (new distributor cap; new rotors; new ignition wires; spark plugs);
· new air filters;
· new exterior lights;
· New steering wheel and shifter (I have the originals).
· New seatbelts
The only two items that the new owner may want to address, although not critical (I just haven’t gotten to them, and neither affects the drivability of the vehicle):

· While the transmission is in very good shape, the 2nd gear synchro is not perfect – works well, but quick shifting leads to an occasional brief grind going into 2nd.

· Center gauges (clock, temp, fuel) are not functioning properly. I am sure this is related to a blown fuse or a minor wiring issue. I just haven’t had a chance to fix.

I have many more pictures and all records, including shop manuals; etc., also includes a new evolution cover (the vehicle is always garaged AND covered).
