Ebay item 12/6/11 cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JAGUAR-1960-MK9-saloon-/330653458784

Sellers description:
This Mark 9 Jaguar was built 1 December of 1959, and was dispatched from the Brown's Lane Facility in Coventry England on the 14th of December 1959. The Car was registered and listed as a 1960 model car. The car was originally cream with a light blue interior. Do you blame that the color was transferred. Currently the car is Burgundy over wine red with tan interior. The cars first owner was a Mr. Basche Miami, Florida. This car is a "kit" that I don't have the time (or funds at the time) to put together. (71 pages all together.) All the parts are there. I have invoices for $21,261, that were provided for the car, or were done for the restoration project. as is, inn part, the following: Rebuilt 3.8 liter engine All the metalastic bushings were replaced. Nisonger rebuilt instruments. Radiator cleaned and re finished. 1 new fuel pump (second needs new points.) I have all the invoices for the project and would happily provide the pile of paperwork to any serious purchaser. I acquired the car with the intention of finishing the car, ultimately including the up-grades I had the parts below, as a good solid driving car. I had an XK 120 that I had used and slowly refinished as I drove for over 100 thousand miles during 15 years. Having a stroke year before last and the slow economics has forced me to abandon this plan. While all the parts and pretty much oppereting it all ought to be gone over. For example all the body had been painted but not very well, so while the body (except for a bit of corrosion at the bottom of the doors ) is frighteningly solid and original it should be re-sprayed. (I always thought wanted to have it dark Blue with the tan interior.) Contact me with any details. NOTE: I have parts available to convert the transmission to a 4 speed with an "NDeL" overdrive as well as a Triple Carb 2 inch throat 265 HP head if the proper winning amount. This will not be included unless the transfer amount is acceptable. It really might be a interesting upgrade. I also have all the information for doing the conversion to a 4 speed automatic which was, at one point, a possibility.
