Ebay item 1/24/23
Classified ad price: $150,000, seller gateway-classic-cars, 91k miles, car now in Tulsa, Oklahoma, previously Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Seller's description:
Gateway Classic Cars of Tulsa has done it again and are proud to present this gem of a 1963 Jaguar XKE Coupe. This particular XKE scored a 98.76 on the Official Concours d' Elegance Judging Score Sheet from the Jaguar Clubs Of North America. Truly a work of art. This XKE is powered by a fierce inline 6 with Twin overhead cam, 3SU carbs and mated with a 5 speed Manual Transmission. Painted in an intoxicating high gloss Opalescent Maroon, on the inside the bucket seats, door trim, headliner and cargo space are all wrapped in beige leather and wine red carpet in the floorboards with correct seam tubing. The console features the alloy top wrapped in beige leather. Bumpers and exterior trim are in good condition as well, with high-quality plating. Beautiful chrome throughout with the correct chrome spoke wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires. Finishing touches include a factory Smiths Radiomobile radio and a beautiful, original-type three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel. This example is thoughtfully prepared for road use, yet has strong cosmetics that make it well-suited for participation in any car show. With its gorgeous presentation and striking color combination, this striking E-Type coupe will surely reward its next keeper for years to come..
