Ebay item 5/13/08
cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll
Current bid $1,136, no reserve, 8 bids, 5 days left in auction.

Sellers description:
Its an original with LOTS of patina. With a lot of Jag enthusiasts you'd pay extra for patina , but HEY ! , not with me ! Its got the original engine that DOES turn over with a big wrench, it rolls on its wheels, all the switches and other stuff is there , and its a manual gearbox. Heck , I think the paint will buff out . Just put in a new battery and some fresh gas and stand back ! The fire will probably drive all the mice out.

I had to pick a color for the listnig. I chose green, as there is no choice for "mange". It looks to be originally primrose with a tan interior. The glass looks to be usable, and I'm sure the brakes are fine, since they haven't been used to stop the car in some time.
NO RESERVE ! Let's all find out together what price patina is really worth !

I have a clear title and the chassis plate is still on the car. I am about 235 miles directly north of Middlebury , Indiana. I just checked the odometer it reads: 58524 miles or so. For you serious visionaries out there ( and evidently there are a few) who want to restore this piece of s*&t to its former glory , I can give you undocumented ownership history from new. The original owner , a photographer from Traverse City , traded it in to a local used car dealer. One of the employees ( a friend of mine) bought it and bondo'ed the body and changed color from primrose to green. He drove it in the early 70's and sold it. It was then sold again to the folks that left it in the field. I did make a mistake , it was last plated in 1976 , so its been off the road for only 32 yrs.!! These cars do not take well to Northern Michigan's winters so it is very rusty ! Sorry about the glass headlight covers, they are not fastened to the bonnet, but they do go with the car. Parts missing: spare tire , tool kit, jack , motif bar, caps for brake fluid reservoirs, ignition key.

Current bid $4,494 reserve not met, 4 bids, 9 days left in auction. Buy it now price $10,500. Car now in Norwell, Massachusetts.

Sellers description:
This 1967 Series I , 2+2, E-type is a fully matching number car. It has the synchromesh gearbox and of course the tri-carb set up as well as the covered headlights . The car is primrose yellow with the cinnamon interior. The car is pretty much complete except for the air cleaner barrel. This car is for restoration. It is going to need a driver’s side outer sill and the front part of the floor. It will probably need a passenger side sill as well. The lower valance on the bonnet will need some attention. The car does steer and roll for shipping purposes. I do have a clear title for the car.
