Current bid $1,175 reserve not met, 3 bids 4 days left in auction. 59k miles.

Sellers description:
1962 E-Type Coupe project car with a clear title. This car has the basic hard to find items that make the early coupes so desirable: all original glass except windshield, both original doors that are 100% solid; original bonnet just from media blasting and primer; correct early seats for FHC, correct early console with aluminum cover in dot pattern; right and left fascia, rear hatch with hardware, four original wire wheels; original wood interior panels for area behind driver, rear vent windows and chrome frames, and complete but non-matching R series triple carb engine (overdrive gearbox not included in this auction) . Significant missing items include the windshield and chrome trim, chrome trim for rear hatch, all suspension and space frame from firewall forward, and rear end. There is also no gas tank, no headlamps or headlamp covers, no turn signal lamps, reverse or license plate lamps or lenses, and no steering wheel (though the rest of the steering is there). There is a speedo and tach but no center switchplate with small gauges and fuses. Anything not specifically mentioned as included is probably not there. Not included in this sale, but available as an option to the winning bidder, is all new sheet metal purchased specifically for this car, including outer sills, complete right and left floors, metal stiffeners for inside the sills and miscellaneous patch panels. The floors are rusty and there are pinholes in parts of the spare tire well. Basically everything shown in the photos, with the exception of the non-standard overdrive gearbox and new sheet metal, are included in this sale. This car would make an excellent project and has a reasonable reserve considering what there is to work with.
