This car was for sale in Farland Classic Restoration. When they ordered the Heritage Certificate they found that the ID plate had been changed to make the engine look like it was numbers matching, but in fact it was not.

Seller's description:
Farland Classic Restoration
Englewood, Colorado 80110
VIN # J63878177
Exterior British Racing Green
Transmission Manual
Interior Camel
Condition Excellent
This OTS XKE was the subject of a major strip-to-metal restoration some years ago and has enjoyed an easy life of car shows and casual weekend drives ever since. The work included a complete engine overhaul and all the associated subsystems, plus the car has had ongoing service & maintenance. Originally from Texas, rust was never an issue and the monocoque & bonnet remain straight and solid.A well-sorted Series I is considered the most desirable XKE by many, with its covered headlights, toggle-switch dash, small taillights and the lively 3.8 engine with triple carburetors. And what could be better than British Racing Green with Tan interior?!
The car comes with a file of past records, photos of the restoration in progress, the original owner's book & keys plus a factory shop manual and other literature. XKE roadsters have always been a 'blue chip' collectable, and their values have historically trended upwards. Recently they have climbed dramatically with top-drawer examples over $300K with many no nicer than this car now in the low-to-mid $200s. However, this car no longer has original colors or a matching engine number, so no matter how nice it is, it must be described as a 'driver,' albeit a really fine one. Consequently, it represents a great value for any enthusiast who wants to enjoy driving the car rather than worrying about (and paying for) minutia.Bonus! Included with the car is a factory hardtop (that needs minor work)!
This owner is motivated to sell! He recently approved a $15,000 price reduction from our original $178,000 price point.
