Seems like this is more than your average "project car". Actually, it's good these are worth restoring but this one has a long way to go. http://www.motorauthority.com/pictures/1081393_numbers-matching-jaguar-xke-coupe-sells-as-is-for-7601_gallery-1#100414150
Yea, depending on how far you'd want to take it, better budget $100K or more for that one. I know the allure of the OTS is high, but anyone wanting in on the E-Type experience should consider the FHC. Just a casual glance seems to show prices rising, and the FHC was always the "red headed stepchild" of the breed. Bought mine for less that $20K and put $9K of work into it. It's numbers matching and drives great. It's FAR from perfect, but it's an E-Type. I think to myself, if I could find a driver Dino, I'd be all over it...same concept. I got lucky, but looking at $8K for this car just reinforces I made a good choice.
