Original 1954 Jaguar XK120

1954 Jaguar XK OTS Additional Info:

HISTORY - This car was purchased by a young man in the early '60s. In 1964 he was drafted into the US Army, so he stored this car in his parents garage with the plan to get it back out when he returned from his stint in the army. He was sent to Vietnam and you can probably guess what happened there. The car sat in his parents' garage from 1964 until both parents died about a few years ago, at which time it was sold to settle their estate.
MECHANICAL - When I bought the car 2 years ago, the oil was changed and we were able to get it running fairly easily by using an external fuel source. The engine sounded good and there was no smoke, although we didn't run it for longer than a minute or so because there was no coolant added. It has not been started since that time.
BODY - This is one of the most rust-free old cars I've ever seen. There is no rust in the frame, body, fenders, fender wells, sills, bottoms of the doors, trunk, spare tire area, etc. It doesn't appear that the car has ever been in an accident. When sighting along the slab sides of the car, there are no ripples anywhere. It is as straight as an arrow. Everything fits up nicely too.
The original color of the car was black with red interior. There has never been any attempt at a restoration on this car in the past. The current green paint was added in the early '60s.
This is a complete, numbers-matching car throughout, including the original engine, cylinder head, and transmission.
Clear title in hand.
