Can is listed for sale in Craigslist ad:

phoenix.craigslist.org/car/253000084.html

Here is a rare 1967 Jaguar XKE Fastback Coupe/ NOT 2+2. It is rare because it is a NON RUST California Black Plate XKE. I will sell it as is (needs resto and engine and trans) for $10k or I will finish it for $18k. If I finish it on my own, I will put a Show Quality, Fully Polished, 400hp Corvette Fuel Injected 350 V8 and 700R4 trans (photo enclosed) so that its as fast as it looks. The original 6 cylinder is slow by todays standards. If I finish it for you, you can pick the colors, etc. This will make a really cool street rod!

Seller says he KNOWS how to modify the front frames to fit the Chevy V8 engine and be safe. Bah humbug!

Somebody save this car--please!

BTW, the seller says he bought the car five years ago with a frozen engine
and says he sold the original engine & trans to a local
Jaguar restoration expert who used the block in a E-Type
''race car'' thus the original engine and transmission are NLA at this point.

With the supply of straight, rust-free Series One cars dwindling, I hate to think of one getting "lumped." If the body is as good as the ad states, this car deserves to be put right.

Update: The guy says he has an offer of $8500 from Germany for the car as is (unmodified).

I think someone should buy it and donate it to XKE Data. ;^) I guarantee it won't be lumped.
