August 21, 200618 yr comment_179385 Dude, I have been looking for something like this for sometime - I own both a 240Z and a 1966 Jaguar XKE coupe. The similarities between the cars is more than passing. I was always afraid of 3 SU carbs, but now I have 5 to deal with What was the tone of the article? Did the Z compare favorably?

August 22, 200618 yr comment_179518 Sure do! One is kind of blurry, bad shot. Car is in nice shape cosmetically - interior is near perfect. Outside, the paint is good, not great (some minor peeling). Also, the bonnet is slightly mis-aligned, quite common on these cars. The engine turns, but doesn't start. It needs a complete mechanical refresh - I will rebuild the engine, new hoses, electrics, and suspension. That's going to take some time ($$$), but it's such a stunning car, I smile just sitting in it. If you look closely, you can also see my 1967 Honda CL77 Scrambler in the background Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/21272-sports-and-exotic/#findComment-179518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
