Sellers description:
Known defects are mainly rust starting under the paint in the lower section of the quarters, rockers and fenders. horn does not operate. sat in storage for years but is up and running. the car had an engine swap {chevy v6} by previous owner who drove the car for 40 years, after a fuel pump died, the elderly owner parked it in a warehouse in delaware. i recently aquired it just to see if i could bring it back to life, it did not take much, installed 2 electric fuel pumps {one for each fuel tank} added some fresh fuel, charged the battery, and the CHEVY v6 fired right up, drops into gear, shifts good, brakes feel ok but pull a bit to the right, lights all appear to work as do the wipers, turn signals and the blower kicks on for the a/c and the compressor kicks on, will need a charge. engine sounds pretty good, don't know the actual miles on the engine. has dual exhaust and has a pretty throaty sound to it. drives pretty well for a 60 jag...good thing is maintanance of a chevy v6 is sure a hell of a lot cheaper. i would recommend flushing everything out and refilling with fresh oils and fluids and bleed out all the old brake fluid, again, it runs and drives and stops fine but after sitting for years, it would be the smart thing to do. the interior is not bad, seats are old but not ripped, headliner is intact and not bad, dash is pretty good on it. speedometer does not work and i can hear it clicking in the dash while driving, must be a broken speedo cable. body needs work in the lower areas, has rust in lower quarters under the paint as well as the lower rockers and fenders, the bumperas are not bad, the hood, trunk and rood are fine as is the top of the fenders and quarters and doors. has 5 67 jaguar spoke wheels..it is 2 tone silver and black, i suspect the original color was dark green. looks pretty cool as is, like a baby rolls royce..would not take much to make it a daily driver. even on the short trip around the block , i get tons of looks in it, it's just rich looking....tires seem ok too.
