Some people like to tame wild horses, date fast women, and gamble using their house as a line of credit. These people are not to be trusted as they're out looking for one thing and one thing only - trouble.

If you, dear reader, are one of the crazed few - well, you've just found what you've been searching for.

This 1969 burgundy Jaguar XKE 3-door coupé barn rescue is on offer now for the low (heh heh) low price of just $7,950. There's just 60,000 miles (or 360,000 in 60's Jag terms) registered on the odometer (probably when the meter was last working in 1984).

Since the vintage cat has been sitting in a rural barn for a while you should know that the air filter alone has likely been home to - oh - 20 or so generations of field mice. That's until the garter snake moved in.

Plus, the owner just wants to warn you that it's got its "fair share of rust". So consider yourself duly notified...




Only those of dubious fiscal discipline (and paradoxically deep pockets) need bother reaching for their credit cards. This is a restoration project to-be that will reach high into the $100,000 range (after which you'll wonder why you didn't just buy a well preserved specimen for $70K).

But like I said, there are people out there who are gluttons for punishment and love a challenge. For those people, your ride has just arrived on the back of a tow-truck.
