CARL,
I AM SENDING THIS E-MAIL TO INFORM YOU OF THE JAGUAR I AM SELLING.
THE CAR IS A 1956 XK-140 COUPE. THIS WAS NOT A HIGH PRODUCTION JAGUAR AND ONLY
ABOUT 2000
WERE MADE THAT YEAR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR MANY YEARS AGO AND DROVE IT FOR A FEW
YEARS AND
THEN DECIDED TO RESTORE IT.
THE RESTORATION PROJECT IS UNDERWAY BUT WILL STILL NEED ALOT OF WORK.
IT HAS A REBUILT JAG 6 CYL ENGINE W/AUTO TRANS. THIS IS NON-MATCHING NUMBER CAR
AS I NEVER
HAD THE ORIGINAL ENGINE. THE ENGINE WAS FIRED UP LAST YEAR, BUT WILL NEED ALL
CONNECTIONS
MADE TO GAS TANK, NEW ACCELERATOR LINKAGE ETC.
I HAVE ALMOST ALL OF THE CHROME TRIM FOR THE CAR WHICH IS IN FAIRLY GOOD SHAPE.
THE SEATS HAVE BEEN REDONE IN BLACK VINYL. THE 140 MODEL HAS THE JUMP SEATS IN
THE BACK
WHICH ARE IN BLACK VINYL. THE OLD HEADLINER IS INTACT AS IS THE WOODEN DASH.
THE
INTERIOR IS IN ROUGH CONDITION AND WILL NEED CARPET, DOOR PANELS, SIDE PANELS
AND INTERIOR
LIGHT DETAILS. MOST OF THE GLASS IS ORIGINAL AND WILL NEED NEW RUBBER ON THE
WINDSHIELD
AND REAR WINDOW, ALTHOUGH IT IS USABLE AS IS.
THE BRAKES WILL PROBABLY NEED TO BE REDONE.
THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. THIS IS A PAINTED WIRE WHEEL CAR.
THE BODY IS IN PRIMER. A LOT OF THE SHEET METAL INNER PANELS HAVE BEEN
REPLACED IN THE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE INTERIOR TRUNK SPARE TIRE WELL. THIS IS BY NO MEANS
A SHOW CAR
BUT MORE OF A DRIVER. THE BODY DOES HAVE SOME FILLERS.
THIS WILL HAVE TO BE PULLED ONTO A FLATBED AS IT IS NOT DRIVEABLE YET. THIS IS
A PROJECT
CAR BEING SOLD AS IS. ASKING PRICE IS $16,500.00.
REGARDS,
JAY REINHART
