This 1963 Jaguar XKE is a Series I roadster that was built on May 17, 1962 and modified during previous ownership with a Pontiac 236ci OHC inline-six and a four-speed Muncie manual transmission. The car has been refinished in red over beige leather, and equipment includes a Clifford intake manifold, a tubular header, a Holley carburetor, a JVC CD stereo with Pioneer speakers, headlight covers, four-wheel disc brakes, and knock-off wire wheels.
Originally finished in Sherwood Green, the car was repainted in its current shade of red under previous ownership. Features include a black soft top, chrome bumperettes with overriders, a vented hood, headlight covers, and dual side-view mirrors.
Chrome-finished 15″ knock-off wire wheels are wrapped in 205/70 Michelin X-One all-season tires. The car is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes with inboard-mounted rears.
The seating surfaces are upholstered in beige leather with a matching center console, deck cover, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include a JVC CD stereo with custom-mounted Pioneer speakers, a heater, a wood shift knob, and two-point seat belts.
A wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer. Gauges for water temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are mounted in the center of the dash. The five-digit odometer indicates 61k miles.
The Pontiac 236ci OHC inline-six was installed during previous ownership and features a Clifford intake manifold, a tubular header, and a Holley four-barrel carburetor.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a four-speed Muncie manual transmission. The seller notes that the frame rail was modified to accommodate the engine swap.
