Current bid $15,100 reserve not met, 6 bids 6 days left in auction. Complete/original VIN on this car is going to be J681E34671.

Sellers description:
West Coast Classics are proud to present a completely rust free (apart from some obvious incidental surface discoloration under the hood etc) genuine 'barn find' example of this coveted original southern California 1968 Jaguar XKE E-Type Series 1.5 4 speed manual transmission coupe with it's original 6 cylinder 4.2L/246HP engine with twin cooling fans and with a matching green interior and four original Jaguar wire wheels!

The car is reported to have only some 46K original miles by its previous long time owner's widow who's husband had purchased the car in 1976 from its original southern California owner and who had stored it in his dry southern California enclosed garage since 1978 when it was last driven. We purchased the car from this second southern California owner's widow and have only cleaned it and put a new set of tires on it in order to move it into our storage facility until sold. As previously stated, the car has not been running since 1978 and will be sold 'as is' requiring TLC and unknown mechanical work.

The floor boards and all the typical rust-prone areas are completely solid and rust-free! The car has no signs of any accidents of any kind and has a razor straight body. It's 'British Racing Green' color paint has some light scratches and imperfections from its years spent 'unattended' in the garage and the car's interior is quite impressive and seemingly very original with lovely green vinyl seats, door panels, headliner, dashboard and carpets all in very fine condition throughout. Please note the car does not have it's original spare wheel or tools located in the trunk.
