My dad purchased this XKE in 1983 and resored it in '85. I left it in the care of some very competent individuals who managed to drop a valve in the No 1 cylinder causing damage to that piston and scarred the cylinder head. These geniuses then left the car outside with the spark plugs removed corroding the cylinders. It has been in dry storage since 2003. SO, this car needs a complete rebuild. As seen in the pictures the floor boards, inner sills, kick panels, etc have significant corrosion. The subframes do have some crinkling from an apparent front impact which occured before dad purchased it as they were concieled with bondo and paint. The trunk tub and the outter panels are very solid. I do believe it is a matching numbers car but have not researched. My intentions were to restore the car myself and as is not uncommon have discovered it to be a bit too much for me. Will be glad to answer any questions. *UPDATE* A couple of folks have asked about seats, top frame, console, etc. They are included. I forgot to take pictures of them seperately but if you enlarge the second side shot of the car you can see the headrest of the seats and the top and frame sitting behind the headrests. The center console, radio frame, etc are all included. It's a COMPLETE XKE, thanks all.On Jul-13-15 at 09:05:27 PDT, seller added the following information: *UPDATE 7/13/2015* Per Data Plate Car#1R12506 Gear Box#KE11438 Engine#7R101929 Body#4R7031 Car, gearbox, and engine block numbers ALL match data plate!
