71,000 MILES. ON EBAY 02/08, SELLER WRITES:
I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE FAMILY OF THE DECEASED OWNER WHO HAD THE CAR FOR THE LAST 26 YEARS. IT HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR A YEAR OR SO. I HAD THE FOLLOWING WORK PERFORMED TO INSURE ROAD WORTHINESS. CASTROL 10W-50 AND FILTER, FLUSH BRAKE SYSTEM AND REPLACE FLUID, DRAIN GEAR BOX AND REPLACE GEAR LUBE, REPLACE SPARK PLUG, CLEAN AND ADJUST CARBS, REPLACE WIPER BLADES, TOP OFF ALL OTHER FLUIDS, REPLACE 1 HOOD SUPPORT AND LUBRICATE AND ADJUST THE TOP ASSEMBLY. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT. BRAKES STOP WITH NO PULL,75 MPH JUST LIKE NEW. SYNCHRONIZERS IN ALL 4 FORWARD GEARS ARE PERFECT AND THE ENGINE PURRS LIKE ONLY A JAGUAR CAN. NO LEAKS AND NO SMOKE. IT EVEN HAS AIR CONDITIONING (WITH NO BELT ON COMPRESSOR) THE FLOOR PANS AND TRUNK PAN ARE NOT RUSTED OUT AND EVEN THE BATTERY BOX IS NOT RUSTED. THE ROCKERS HAVE NO RUST EITHER. THE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN LIKE IT IS OR AN PERFECT AND EASY RESTORATION PROJECT. THE TOP IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND THE REAR WINDOW IS CLEAR, THE SEATS ARE REAL LEATHER AND IN GOOD, NOT PERFECT CONDITION. DASH IS EXCELLENT AS ARE DOOR PANELS, CARPETS ETC. THE GAUGES ALL WORK AND THE CAR HOLD GREAT OIL PRESSURE, RUNS COOL AND CHARGES PROPERLY. PAINT LOOKS GOOD FROM A DISTANCE BUT IT IS CHIPPED, SCRATCHED AND SEVERAL SHADES OF YELLOW. CHROME WIRE WHEELS(5) THAT ARE BRIGHT BUT HAVE SOME PITS ETC. EVERYTHING INTACT AND ORIGINAL EXCEPT THE RADIO WHICH IS AN AFTERMARKET PIECE OF JUNK. IT WORKS BUT SOUNDS AWFUL.THE TOP RIGHT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD IS A LITTLE CLOUDY. EXHAUST SYSTEM IS FINE. TIRE TREAD IS PROBABLY HALF. ANYWAY, THATS ABOUT IT. THE TITLE SHOWS ACTUAL MILAGE AND IS CLEAR. CALL ME WITH QUESTIONS. IF YOU WANT TO CALL AND MAKE AN OFFER PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO SO. IF YOU WANT TO CALL AND ASK MY PRICE PLEASE DO NOT DO SO. IF I WANTED TO DO IT THAT WAY I WOULD HAVE PUT IT IN HEMMINGS, THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION AND I AM SELLING IT TO THE BIDDER SO BIS HIGH AND OFTEN :>) MY PHONE NUMBER IS 239-823-4418 AND MY NAME IS JON.
