What makes this additionally special is the amazing 34
years of current ownership, 63K actual miles and rock
solid no excuses condition. Purchased by the current
owner in 1977 from the Seattle Jaguar Dealership as the
prior owner was trading it in on a new Jaguar. After a
discussion with the owner and his paperwork was
complete, the new/current owner acquired it on
05/09/1977 with approx 42k miles... Wow!
Since that time it has been petted, protected and
enjoyed. The engine, power train and interior has been
maintained as original. In the late 90's the entire car
was professionally stripped jamb to jamb (see additional
photos) and refinished in a deep black cherry color.
Some other noted items include re-sleeved rear brake
calipers, updated GM alternator and 1/2 wider "stainless
steel spoke" wire wheels (original items included,
factory wire wheels with knock offs, factory short wave
radio, factory alternator and new replacement front
bumper guards). |
