i have an opportunity to buy a 68 roadster from an old friend who owned it in 1970 and maybe bought it new. it has been covered in a barn in indiana for at least 20 years. i have absolutely no idea what i am getting into...except one of the sexiest cars ever made! any advice? i live in hillsborough.

Car offered at:

Sellers description:
Location: Rougemont, North Carolina 27572
VIN #: 879943
Mileage: 43968
Trans: Manual
Condition: Good
Exterior: Opalescent Dark Green
Interior: Beige

Very well documented to-the-bolt restoration chronicled in detail on the web at etype.inetogether.net. Exterior is Opalescent Dark Green with beige interior. Rust on the car was painstakingly removed with parts restored or replaced and POR-15 rust encapsulator used to prevent further corrosion. The original 3.8 liter engine is available with the car, if you want the original engine. The car's fiberglass hardtop, partially restored, is also included. A 1980 4.2 liter XK engine was used to replace the original engine, though the original SU carburettors, value covers, timing chain cover, and transmission were fitted. The progress of the restoration, which is available online, shows decisions made over the course of the project.

I am looking for a person who will both use and cherish this car.

Price: $131,000 negotiable
