cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1964-Jaguar-XKE-Base-3-8L-/271090851001
Current bid $12,100 reserve not met, 6 bids 6 days left in auction.

Sellers description:
1964 Jag XKE OTS that has been fully restored. The body and paint are exceptional as well as the interior. The top is dark brown and as new. The wheels(knockoffs) are in excellent condition and the tires are Pirelli P 44's. The vehicle has 10,363 miles since total restoration on a rust free west coast car to begin with. The color is called Goldensand and is original. The 3.8 liter motor (RA7231-9) is matching number except the head (RA3640-9).The head is from 1963 judging from the number. I have been told by (ahem, experts) that Jaguar would use anything on their shelves in that era so this might be the original head. When I purchased this vehicle 13 years ago from the owner he stated he did not change the head. I am a collector approaching 70 years and have decided to sell some of my collection. This car is collector quality!!! There is not a mark on the body and everything lines up better than the factory ever did. There are no leaks (seriously) under the vehicle. The odometer was set to "O" when it was restored and currently shows 10,363 miles. This is a outstanding example of time gone by and getting rarer by the day for quality pieces such as this.The title is free and clear and in my name(California).
