Body and paint are in excellent condition. Interior is in excellent condition.
Engine runs good, but it does need a heads gasket.
Miles = 141,000 Registration Expires on June 2012







$150 for a head gasket set...

$900? If it runs for a year, you have done well.

Lucas is the reason dad's '68 XKE is in pieces in the garage in Ohio. What started out as tracking down the electrical problem, ended in us dismantling the car for restoration.

If the time ever comes that I complete the car, the harness will be sourced from anyone other than a Lucas replacement.
