What we have here is a 1970 E type 2+2 coupe that has been neglected for the past 6 years or so. It was originally a southern car but has most recently resided in the north east. At one time, this car had extensive work performed including the installation of a non-original engine, and was reported by the prior owner to be running well about 6 years ago. In addition to the engine, this car is reported by the previous owner to also have a non-matching number transmission. At the point, when the engine was changed, the brakes were also up rated and now have stainless braided lines. This car will need to have a general restoration and much of the interior redone, but it does come with a replacement rear seat. The body, bonnet and inner and outer rockers are generally very sound, however there is some beginnings of rust-through at the front of the floors. The glass is all good and this car comes with what looks to be almost a complete new rubber and weather seal kit, including new front and rear windshield seals and many other seals and rubber trim. The trunk floor is sound and the frame straight. The engine turns freely and the carbs open freely, but no attempts have been made to start it. This auction will be with no reserve and sale will be completed with a bill of sale only, as CT is a non-title state for cars manufactured prior to 1981. If you are looking for an E type, this car would surely represent a viable entry level opportunity at an extremely modest investment. Payment can be made in person with cash, bank check or wire transfer, but this car cannot be released until all funds have cleared. Bidders with negative feedback will be cancelled if not cleared in advance. A nonrefundable deposit of $500 must be received within 48 hours of transaction or sale will be cancelled, negative feedback assigned and car resisted.
