www.ebay.com/itm/Jaguar-E-Type-Fixed-Head-Coupe-1970-Jaguar-E-Type-FHC-NO-RESERV ...

Opening bid $22,500, no reserve, no bids 6 days left in auction.

Sellers description:

This 1970 Series II e-type FHC is currently registered in Connecticut and is driven only on clear days and to shows, slaloms and Jaguar events.

The original 4.2 litre motor was removed from the car, it had an exhaust valve failure so it needs some head work and a piston, but it comes with the car as it should. What is in the car now is the best possible scenario. (1987 sIII sedan block and large valve head) This car has been carefully built according to a plan up to the point of the paint and the bodywork. Below is the list of the modifications, but remember, all modifications were made with the careful thought of being able to put the car back to stock without a lot of trouble.

-The motor is a 1987 Jaguar Series III sedan 4.2 litre original bore, it only had 40k miles on it and it was checked, cleaned assembled with the large valve injected cylinder head and it retains the large engine oil cooler and spin on oil filter to keep it cool and to retain oil temp.

-The motor is fitted with 4.2 e-type triple Su carburetors and original 1967 style intake and they are jetted for the current setup

-The car has a Holley Fuel pump and runs an Adjustable Fuel pressure regulator and starts immediately, never any fuel issues.

-The ignition is a Mallory Distributor with new 7MM wires .

-The motor has a Large Bore exhaust Header and free flow mufflers, it is not excessively loud. Just right

-The transmission is the original 4 speed and bell housing, it does grind into second gear at times, Just to make to sure to mention.

-The Clutch is a Clutchmasters disc Heavy duty and The Flywheel is a Terrys Aluminum lightweight Unit.

-The radiator is a large core, full flow Griffin aluminum radiator with a Hi volume electric fan. The car Always runs cool. never an issue.

-The car has a lightweight 80A aluminum cased modern alternator and regulator, and it has a new 800amp battery

-The car has a rebuilt Water pump and all new hoses, all new clamps and all new fittings, fluids are recent and checked.

-The differential is a 3:31 E-type unit , it is limited slip it is not rebuilt and we cannot totally guarantee this ratio and it leaks at the pinion seal. The rear rotors have been replaced once already, they are not the original sandwich design and they are fine, look almost new. They were not redone with this build.

-The rear suspension is stock but for uprated mountings and Koni shocks- the rear wheel houses are all rebuilt, new bearings and detailed.

-The front suspension is stock but for the upgrade of larger Series III spindles, hubs and larger stock Jaguar Calipers. the brake hoses are new stock rubber lines and the car has all Ate super blue fluid in the brake and clutch systems.

All brake pads are premium Hi temp pads and are less than a year old less than 2000 miles.

-The car comes with any extra parts that are available, the rear bumper, which is off now is included, front bumpers are available from many sources.

-There is no radio in the car, interior is very usable, original headliner is in the car at this time. It has stock seats, with good tracks and hardware.

-The tires are almost new Dunlop Direzzas, Stagger size (see pictures) and the wheels are 16x8 steel road wheels. they can accept any center cap, either Chevrolet or jaguar or just plain.

-This E-type can be enjoyed the way it is? or put back to stock. Look at the pictures carefully, it needs a lot of body work, the floors are sound but have been repaired with metal and may want to be made with new pans. Depending on your game plan, the floors are fine to leave as they are as well as the body work.

-This car is dependable and very quick, its stance turns heads and it drives solid and flat, not soft like a stock car.

-There is a lot of work done to this car, There is over 40k dollars invested in the build out of this Jaguar. Heater box is already detailed, It is mechanically sound, the suspension is sorted out.

These are not Glamor shots, we are trying to show the condition and value of this car in order to explain what is being offered here. this car turns heads...

Seller's description:

What you have here is a running and driving E Type project. I have done the basics, cleaned the tank, carbs made it run well. It has the shorter rear gears and the car is very fast, super great sound! It has triple SU's and a big valve head. Not much to do mechanically, pinion housing drips oil, and some lights are not working (Lucas, of course) The car has upgraded cooling and triple SU carbs...runs very good, lumpy cams sound great at idle.

There is a lot of unfinished work on the car, for example the seats have new covers but the headrests were not done. The biggest issue the car has is the rear wheel openings are bodged up from the previous owner trying to fit larger wheels and tires. The patch panels are available and inexpensive and a prefect repair can be done for $1,000 to $1500. The engine in not the original one, so it is not numbers matching. There is evidence or previous rust repairs, for example the at least one floor panel is not original. There is some rust on the bonnet near the hinges and there may be more rust hidden under the paint. The car is not a rust bucket, but you should expect to do some metal work before the paint job on this car.

The chrome looks pretty good but since the car needs paint you are going to want to do the chrome too. The paint is very checked and will need to be stripped in many places for a good result. 

I removed the huge tires and fitted stock size rubber on Dunlop style disk wheels, they look great, I have the faux knock off caps for the wheels around. (Not cheap)

Seller's description:

ASG is pleased to present this very unique 1970 Jaguar XKE Hot Rod In British Racing Green over Black Leather Interior. 16 Dunlop Jaguar Wheels. Crowned as the most beautiful car ever made by Enzo Ferrari. This Jaguar XKE is for the purist who doesnt mind the occasional tuned up car to go faster on the road or on the track.

Estimated to be pushing close to 300hp, this Jaguar is a blast to drive anywhere in the world. The previous owner was a ship captain and chose to drive this car all over the states when at port. The overall vehicle shows patina both inside and out and falls into the category of a survivor. The Interior benefits from the front seats being refoamed and recovered in black leather, the headliner as well as the rug will need to addressed in the future but aside from those items all gauges and lights are in working order and responsive. The exterior shows tons of patina throughout, the rear quarter panels show some light rust and damage to due someone attempting to put wider tires in the rear at some point in its life. The vehicles undercarriage is rust free and presentable showing normal wear as one would expect.
