1961 Jaguar Mark IX

Driveline: The brakes are inoperable, ut complete. I didn't drive it on account of this. On the lift I did put it into drive and the rear wheels started spinning, o presumably the transmission does work on some level.

Tires: The four new wide whitewall Diamond Back radial tires (Goodyear) mounted on repainted original wheels are one of the best things about the car. They are unused, o dry rot, tc. That's about $1,000 bucks worth of new tires right there.

Interior: Again, t's what you'd expect consistent with the outward appearance of the car. The seats and door panels are there, ut pretty much only good for patterns. Since the car has been completely dismantled years ago, lot of the nuts and bolts are missing, hough the major hardware is still there. It will need a dash since it delaminated when it was left outside with the windshield removed. The gauges are there and look salvageable. Some of the interior wood may be salvageable, s well. The seats were stored inside all the time they were removed.

Body: As stated above, t's about a ten year old repaint that spent some time outside. The lower doors took the worst part of that as you can see in the photos. The body itself is pretty solid. No inner rocker or body mount rot. There is a small patch on both the drivers side and passengers side front floor boards, little bit of rot where you'd expect in places like the spare tire well, ut other than that it's rather solid overall. There doesn't appear to have ever been any collision damage.

Chrome: It's what you'd expect on an unrestored car. Some of it is presentable for a driver, ut most of it really ought to be replated or replaced. Some of it is missing (the hood ornament was stolen at one point) and much of it isn't bolted on the car. Study the photos. There are shots of pretty much everything that goes with the car.

Glass: The windshield it out of the car and is in decent condition. The rear glass is still in place and is also in decent condition. The side glass is missing (except the vent windows, have those), ut the side glass frames are there.

Summary: It's a bit of a grab bag. Either look at it as a parts car with a solid running engine, r put this one back together with the parts car you already have. Either way, t's going to take two cars to make one good one.

Payment: A non-refundable $500 deposit made by PayPal is due within 48 hours of the end of the auction. From there you can either use a cashiers or personal check (checks will be required to clear before the title is signed over) or cash at time of pick-up.

Shipping is your responsibility. The Jag is located at a commercial facility that can accept anything from a rollback to an 18-wheeler double-decker transport. I will do whatever I can to accommodate you. If you are coming to HERSHEY, e can work out a time that is mutually agreeable to both of us to complete the transaction. Vehicle location is only about 1hr. 20min. from Hershey / 30 minutes south of PHL.

Thank you for your interest!
