I am posting this on behalf of my buddy. He has a 1963 E type Jag for parts. He is looking to sell it for $10,000.00. You have to pick it up. You will need a trailer to take it. The car is located in Fort Nelson, BC, Canada. Contact me if you're interested, and I will pass it on to him.
I don't think there is $10K worth of usable parts. Looks like the A pillars bent because the floors are so rusted that the tub flexed and bent. That much rust on the floors probably means every metal panel on the car has serious rust. If possible you should post photos of the bottom of the doors, the bonnet if it is still with the car, rear hatch, and the intake manifold. These are all important parts that if in sellable condition may entice someone to buy the car.
Good luck with the sale.
I built a roadster for a gentleman 2 years ago that started out looking like that. He spent about $300,000 to get a finished car. Honestly, about the only thing that has value there is the VIN plate.
It's just another victim of what I call the "gunna do" disease.
A vehicle is purchased with the intent of "doing it up". (I'm going to (gunna do) it up")
It gets pulled apart and then all activity ceases due to any number of factors including loss of enthusiasm, lack of money, lack of time, illness, old age etc.
I have seen lots of cars including Jaguars in these conditions. The latest was a 1950s Jaguar MK1 sedan. It was all there but in a million bits and worth very little.
Hence my name of these vehicles as " gunna does"
I rebuilt a Mark 2 using a donor car and a bare, but new shell. It took me 7 years. Fortunately I started when I was in my early 30s. Also fortunately, getting married a year after I started, I was still married at the end of it !
