Seller's description:

For sale is my 1967 Jaguar XKE.  I bought this car in 1985 from the original California owner.  In 1967 he was good friends with Jim Morrison of the Doors. Jim drove this car on several occasions and was was the main reason he bought a pink one for his girlfriend at the time. The car had 42,000 original miles on it when I bought it. It now has 58,000. In 2002 I sold the car to my uncle in Colorado. He enjoyed it for a while and then I bought it back in 2009. So I guess you could say that I am the second and fourth owner.  In 1985, soon after I purchased the car it went through a 5 year ground up restoration. The car was completely disassembled and sandblasted. The car has had the 4 speed replaced with a new 5 speed overdrive gearbox and the engine was rebuilt in 2005 at 52,000 miles. Since the rear end ratio is 4.10 it is very quick off the start and the 5 speed makes freeway driving a dream. I have all the receipts for the last 39 years. Included with the car is a second set of wire wheels in beautiful condition with Pirelli tires as well as various parts. It has the original jack and a few tools along with a canvas boot cover.
