Title: E type + LS3
Post by: 88v8 on June 16, 2019, 04:40:28 AM
1965 roadster, Series 1.
Restomod, like new, it appears. Including the interior, hmm.
LS3 + 4L80E.

Many many hours of work, then he drove it 1,000 miles and now it's for sale. Funny how life goes.
Or maybe there's a clue in the apparent lack of windscreen wipers - for me, a car that cannot be driven in the wet is a sorry thing.
But if you too live in Arizona, here it is.

I live in San Diego and don't have wipers either (or top or side windows or defrosters). Mine was driven in the rain a couple months ago about 25 miles to the Goodguys show. Neither the car or myself was looking very good after the trip but we both cleaned up OK once the sun came out. I only got really wet sitting in line to enter the event.

I'd like to see the E-Type listed on Bring-A-Trailer.
The comments would be interesting.

Didn't sell at $45k.
So it's back, with a BIN of $177,995.

I do like an optimist.

Didn't sell.
So it went into an auction, was bid to about $40,000 again.
Now he lists it at $177k again.
He's going to be owning that car a long time.

Unsold.
Now he lists it at $174,995.
Quite mad.
