Equipment
4.2 dry sump engine, triple 48 DCOE Webers, Tremec T 5 5 speed, braced rollbar, centerlock Dunlop style wheels, Goodyear Blue Streak tires, fire system, fuel cell, Recaro seat, side exhaust, cutdown full width windshield. Very neat and tidy, finished, trimmed, polished and painted everywhere, never raced and pristine. Excellent cosmetics. No vintage racecar should look this good and its appearance substantiates the $225,000 said to have been spent on its restoration and preparation. An amazing car. No Reserve.
Market commentary
To someone who wants to go vintage racing in a GT3 spec XKE this constitutes a huge no, let me re state that a HUGE value in meticulous construction, preparation, materials and workmanship. The seller must have felt it was too pretty to race since it never got exposed to the vicissitudes of wheel to wheel competition. At this price, though, it can be risked and the hobby will be richer for its addition to the field.
