Very good condition 1968 Jaguar XKE Series 1.5, 2+2, A/T, with 4.2 Liter engine: The Series I.5 2+2 E-Type Jaguar was only built in 1968, with only 1578 LH drive and 405 RH drive models of the total 72,500 E-types produced; (a total of 18,222 2+2 models were produced). This is a rare and a great opportunity to own a fun daily driver; mostly original, good condition, and partially restored XKE. Offered as a great daily driver or a collectible for any English Classic car enthusiast. Currently 67,860 miles on odometer; (At the time of purchase in 1989, the actual car mileage, could not be established by seller provided information.) Owned and garaged since 1989, driven frequently. Open projects: If you live in a very warm climate and enjoy long drives in the summer, a New Alloy Radiator would give you peace of mind. The original radiator is a little tired after 47 years on hot days.Interior: New carpet and rubber door trim strips would be desirable. Generally rust free, left front jacking point and wheel wells would need attention at time of full restoration; Paint average to very good with normal wear: a few scratches & road rock paint chips, with minor blemishes on the hood, roof and bottom of rear wheel wells. Chrome is original with some pitting, a few small dents and some peeling on one door post; still above average in appearance. Current Engine bay configuration: Original S/N bottom-end 4.2 engines with a Zenith Stromberg tri-carburetor set-up on a later model (XJ-6 Ser 1) cylinder head (all new valves, cam followers, springs, tappet hold-downs, upper timing chain, cylinder head studs and & nuts), three (Joe Curto) overhauled ZS 175CD2 carburetors, new electronic distributor, Stainless Steel exhaust headers. Recent new piston/ rings, rod bearings and ARP rod bolts. (“piston-rings-rod assembly”, balanced to within a Gram of the average) I will soon move and lose garage/ place to work on car, so must find a new home for the XKE. If you have questions, please contact me. Test drives are welcomed. There is a $1000 PayPal deposit (non-refundable) within 48 Hours; Balance by wire transfer or Cashier’s check from major bank within 7 business days. If you are new to E-Bay, less than 10 purchases/with positive feedback, please contact me before bidding. Note 1: Available for separate purchase: (as removed) The original 4.2 cylinder head, dual carburetors, intake manifold and all air induction components, exhaust manifolds and original distributor. (All are considered cores for a “Full Restoration” in the future). This would restore engine bay to Factory original configuration. Note 2: Available for separate purchase: A partial jaguar 4 speed transmission conversion kit: used all sync 4 speed manual transmission from mid to late 60s XKE, bell housing; new actuators, new clutch bottle with brackets, and a XKE overhauled dual brake/clutch pedal assembly.
