Ok, everyone be cool. This 1964 jaguar xke coupe isn't for purists but it is for the guy who loves the shape but wants to live a little outside the box. It ain't subtle, not with the bright red paint and that giant hood scoop, but from any angle, this is a gorgeous car. The body is 100% steel, no fiberglass junk, and the fit and finish is rather impressive, certainly worthy of a car like this. It's really impressive. The early-style shell bucket seats are wrapped in black leather that looks spectacular and the rest of the trim is just the way jaguar would have done it themselves. The door panels are simple and elegant, the carpets are plush enough to feel luxurious but not get in the way of serious driving, and yes, all the original smiths gauges are still in the dash except for a modern oil pressure dial. Purists look away now, because the beloved 3. 8 liter six is long gone, having been replaced when it died during it's only owner's temporary transfer away from texas to hawaii, and due to a lack of parts, was replaced with a ford motorsports 5. 0 liter v8 crate motor. Making roughly 50% more horsepower than the original it's a tidy fit in the e-type's engine bay and totally transforms the car. There's a big aluminum radiator so no more fussiness there, and the workmanship is very nicely done. It's backed by a ford aod 4-speed automatic tra. Bucket Seats✔ Leather Seats
