To--Mike--Re:  to run or walk away from the XKE!!

First, the price is too high.  I spent 9K 5 years ago for a complete yet 
restorable 66 rdst.  As to weather you are ready for the project--that 
depends on your patience, your wallet and your stress level.  After 5 
years, mine is very near completion, but I will NEVER do it again.  there 
are thousands of parts, each of which can be suspect, and if you suspect 
them--you will no doubt replace them---and---the dollars mount up fast.
My 9K moved to 35K in no time!

The car is beautiful, and I will enjoy it, but forewarned is forearmed!!

Good luck on your decision.

Tom
