PRICED TO SELL!! This is a gorgeous concours quality 1965 Jaguar
E-Type Series I Coupe that has enjoyed three known prior owners and
would be equally fantastic on tours as it is on the show field.
This is an all-numbers matching, black and black example from new
with gorgeous chrome wire wheels. With an investment in mechanical
restoration over the past three years of $47,000 and multiple
awards from the JCNA and AACA, this Coupe is in showroom condition
and ready to enjoy. The Coupes present owner professionally and
thoughtfully installed a Clayton Classics air conditioning system
in the original radio housing, and it works great! This Coupe was
built on May 7th, 1965 and was acquired by its original owner,
Charles B Pendelton of Augusta, GA on June 25th, 1965. Mr.
Pendelton was a professional photographer and understood beauty and
colors. He custom ordered this Coupe as you see it today, in
brilliant and gorgeous black livery with black leather interior. By
October 3rd, 1997 the Coupe was acquired by Mark Lovello of
Taylors, SC with 59,846 original miles. Mr. Lovello commenced a
restoration and showed the Coupe successfully at many concours
events. By March 2nd, 2007, after further restoration by marque
specialists the Coupe was sold to Richard Sacks of Deerfield, IL.
Mr. Sacks continued to improve it and successfully campaigned it in
several JCNA and AACA concours events from 2011 through 2015,
earning as high as 999.80 points (out of 1,000) and an AACA
National First Place win in 2014. We have a huge binder of invoices
for restoration and maintenance, including photographs of work
performed. This Jaguar has continued to be upgraded and serviced.
The receipts include respected restoration shops including Classic
Showcase in Oceanside, CA and The Last Detail in North Chicago, IL
from 2007 through 2015. Additional work has been performed by one
of the top Scottsdale, AZ companies from 2019 through 2022. In our
photo gallery we have many photos of work performed by Classic
Showcase. The black livery today is simply stunning. It is polished
brilliantly and contrasted with perfect chrome and stainless-steel
trim. The panel gaps are all perfect and the panels are straight
and true. The chrome wire wheels with proper knock offs are as-new
in all respects. We love the classic look of the covered headlight
covers. The black leather interior is also as-new and the leather
is soft and supple as one would expect. Everything within the
interior looks as-new and in fantastic condition. All of the
instrumentation work s as they should. We noticed light scratching
on the drivers door tinting from normal use. As mentioned, the air
conditioning is beautifully installed where the stereo was normally
housed. (The parts removed to fit the air conditioning are included
with the car if it was desired to return it to original.) The air
flow is excellent, working brilliantly here in Phoenix. The engine
compartment and engine detailing are in show condition today. The
venerable Jaguar 4.2 liter straight six cylinder engine produces
265 hp and has been comprehensively rebuilt with only break-in
miles added since (several photos of the engine restoration are
included in the photo gallery). This investment also included
anything that needed tending to, such as the clutch, brakes, etc.
Receipts totaling $47,000 over the last three years covering the
air conditioning, engine rebuild and related improvements are
included. This Coupe is documented with its Jaguar Heritage
Certificate and a comprehensive file with 15 years worth of
receipts and 25 years worth of historical documentation. Also
included is its tool roll, jack, manuals and original radio and
other parts. The NADA Value for this Coupe is $230,500. For more
