1962 Jaguar 3.8 Mark II Sedan CA/AZ barn find
VERY complete and original Jaguar NO signs of rust or rot anywhere Recently found barn find of sorts here in the Az dry climate. Same owner for the last 40+ yrs IF You have less then 10 feedbacks, we will email you to make sure its legit we email you to check your sincerity on buying the car and dont get a reply within 24 hours.. You will be cancelled and blocked too from bidding. We suggest viewing our auction on normal large monitors and or tablet to get the most out of our large easy to view pics. Id prefer NO PAYPAL to be honest. Email me first before you bid if thats your only option. We bank with BofA which is easy for most buyers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION: TOTAL SURVIVOR and by that I mean, its not been modded ever and other then the 1 repaint back in the 80s, its a nice original car thats been in AZ most of its life. Would be cool to do a mild resto on it and just drive it for fun once in a while. The motor and trans were fine when parked about 10 yrs ago due to owners age. Gas tank was removed during storage too. It does come with the car loose in the trunk. Block is original matching #s. Motor has been in super dry climate.. so NO PROMISES on its actual condition. I was going to try to get it running first before listing but thought about offering it like this first. If it doesnt sell Ill get it running and prob put some tires on it and relist it with a higher reserve. I dont have a key for it.
Check out the pics and more info below...thanks
DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, apparently some people who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules. So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid. Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!! These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition that are still affordable to most buyers.
DRIVETRAIN: very complete and original under the bonnet. Motor is a matching #s 3.8 matted to an auto trans. Motor turns over by hand no issues, Im pretty confident it will run with a key and a gas source to it. And Im going to try that route this week because Id like to hear it run. The last owner parked it due to his age, removed the gas tank, ran it carbs out of gas and let it sit in a garage for 15 yrs. Sometimes sitting in the carport when he needed the space. But when he parked it, has assured me there was nothing major wrong with the drivetrain.
INTERIOR: take a look, Az has done a great job drying out all the rubber weatherstripping european cars were never designed for Az climate. Factory radio in dash, and lots of chrome inside actually not too bad. Even the wood inside the car is not too bad. It was not in the sun for yrs, but yes to heat. Gauges in the cluster look great. All the glass looks to be in good shape too and work. See pics. EXTERIOR:the body pretty straight for its age, the car had a total color change repaint back in the 80s from RED to a Maroon color. Ive been all over the car and see no signs of old cracking bondo or rot repair. Stainless in good shape, chrome very nice too. Doors all open and close fine, and glass all looks good and original. Some very mild pitting on some chrome outside the car.
SUSPENSION:the suspension looks normal and very original for its age. Its not restored, but probably be okay with a little resto on the bushings etc. No way to tell exactly what it may need without getting it on a rack or driving it. Hope for the best but maybe expect the worst. Chances are its not bad. 3 outta the 4 tires are flat, and for some reason when you turn the steering wheel the front tires do not turn, and brakes need to be bled. If there is a winner and they want to pay for new tires and tubes etc before it gets shipped, we can help with that. Spare tire and lead hammer MIA. Check out ALL the pics below ----->
it may take a full minute for them all to load ifyou have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more infoAFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
There you have it, probably The BEST represented JAGS on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days speaks volumes. Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.
Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. We show you as much feasibly possible via pics. Dont let auctions withlittle to no pics try to fool you. If they cant take the time to take pics of areas under the car they are selling, maybe its not the best car to buy long distance.
