A few upgrades to improve the driving and comfort have been made to make this a better driver; an excellent original 3.8L engine and has been upgraded to a fully synchronized 4.2L transmission. The original 3.8L seats have been replaced with the comfortable later series I 4.2L seats. Classic Showcase has performed an earlier cosmetic restoration and full service which included a complete vehicle repaint including R&R the engine, re-chroming some of the bright work, replacing the body rubber, replaced some of the upholstery as needed, new tires, new clutch system, replaced the front and rear seals on the engine and a new pair of manifolds. This car has been very well kept and maintained.
History
The Series I E-type is the most desirable of all the series with a fully synchronized 4 speed transmission, covered headlights, toggle switches on the dash, comfortable bucket seats, center console, and arm rest. This makes the best driver and the most collectable for an investment.
