Sellers description:
I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT SINCE I BOUGHT IT, I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM CALIFORNIA. THE WEATHER HAS BEEN GOOD TO THIS CAR IT HAS NO RUST AT ALL. THIS IS A GREAT DAILY DRIVER, IT HANDLES VERY WELL AND RIDES SMOOTH.

HERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO.

I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT ABOUT A YEAR AGO. ALSO HAD THE CARBS REBUILT AND SECRONIZED (THERE ARE 4 SINCE THIS IS A V-12) ALSO HAD THE ENGINE TUNED UP WITH A NEW ELECTRONIC MODULE, PLUGS, WIRES, CAP, ROTOR. THERE IS ALSO A NEW ALTERNATOR, ALL NEW BELTS AND HOSES, NEW RADIATOR CORE, AND AIR BOOTS. IN ADDITION TO THIS I HAD MOST OF THE FRONT BUSHINGS REPLACED AND ALL OF THE FRONT BALL JOINTS ( THIS MADE THE CAR HANDLE LIKE NEW) THERE ARE ALSO NEW FRONT BRAKES. (THIS CAR HAS DISK IN FRONT AND REAR) THE ORIGNAL DIAFRAM FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED WITH A UPDATED PUMP BUT I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL THIS WILL GO WITH THE CAR IF ASKED FOR. THE COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM WAS CLEANED WHEN FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED.

NEXT THE BODY WAS IN GOOD CONDITION BUT I PUT A FRESH PAINT JOB ON IT LAST YEAR. THE COLOR IS CARMEN RED THIS IS A FACTORY COLOR FOR XKE'S. LIKE I SAID ABOVE THERE WAS NO RUST ON THIS CAR AND STILL IS NOT. THE PAINT USED WAS GLOBAL PPG THIS IS THE BEST PAINT ON THE MARKET IT IS A 20 YEAR PAINT AND HAS PPG'S SHOW QUALITY CLEAR COAT. THIS IS A VERY NICE PAINT JOB. ONCE PAINTED ALL NEW GASKETS AND RUBBERS WERE INSTALLED ON THE CAR( PRIOR TO PAINTING ALL CHROME, LIGHTS,GLASS,ECT WAS REMOVED SO THAT THERE WOULD BE NO TAPE LINES IN THE PAINT)

THIS CAR ALSO HAS A NEW SET OF EXHAUST PIPES, RESONATORS, AND TIPS THESE TIPS HAVE 4 OUTLETS AND ARE CHROME) THERE IS ALSO A NEW SET OF RADIAL TIRES .

THIS CAR IS ALL IN ALL VERY NICE AND IS A FUN DRIVER THAT LOOKS GREAT, THE INTERIOR IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT I HAVE NOT TOUCHED OTHER THAN THE NEW DASH PAD, THE REAR SEAT,HATCH AREA, DOOR PANELS, CONSOLE COVER ARE IN REAL GOOD CONDITION, THE FRONT BUCKETS NEED TO BE RE COVERED THEY CURRENTLY HAVE SLIP COVERS ON THEM AND THE HEAD LINER NEEDS TO BE RE DONE.

THIS ENGINE RUNS VERY WELL AND HAS GOOD POWER. THERE ARE A FEW OIL LEAKS AS TO BE EXPECTED FROM A 34 YEAR OLD CAR ( THESE MAY BE FROM THE OIL PAN ) THE ENGINE ALSO HAS A NEW STARTER FROM ABOUT A YEAR AGO. ALSO ALL GAUGES IN CAR WORK IN CAR EXCEPT FUEL GUAGE.

I AM SELLING THIS CAR DUE TO STARTING MY OWN BUSINESS AND NEED THE CAPITOL.
