1964 original USA-spec E-Type coupe. The last year of the desirable 3.8 engine with matching engine & cylinder head numbers. 71K actual miles (!), subject of lengthy restoration work over many years by former owner with professional paint & interior work. We have the Heritage Certificate showing the matching numbers; it also shows the car was originally white, but was changed to red when completely disassembled.
During the years-long restoration the engine was overhauled (receipts available), the body stripped & professionally painted and many OEM parts obtained when they were still available. The chrome and glass (factory ‘Sundym' tinted all around!) is all excellent and panel fit is probably better than when these cars were new. Considerable effort went into creating an exceptional high-level ‘driver’ car instead of a show princess. Example: A lot of Dynamat sound & heat insulating material was installed in hidden places. New electrical harnesses were obtained and new correct Dunlop wheels & tires, oversize radiator w/electric fan were further upgrades.
All instruments were rebuilt (even the clock works!) and a beautiful new leather interior installed, including a new wool headliner. Car runs & drives great, but while it sparkles from ten feet, paint has some age cracking. We have buffed it up very nicely and it really does present well—as intended, it’s a really nice driver you can enjoy without anxiety Attractively priced due to the paint issue at $82,500.
If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself. Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car, and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see ‘where the magic happens.’ If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
