Ebay item 10/15/18

Car has a buy it now price of $4,500 for 20 days, seller sleepdroid, 57k miles.

Seller's description:
I'm am selling my project that I am unable to finish. Due to injury, I cannot continue the restoration and the car has just been sitting in our garage for years now. I finished stripping and repainting the frame. I was almost finished with the underside of the body. I welded in a new trunk floor. NOW: The car was put back together just enough so that it can roll out of my garage and onto your trailer. Suspension gently put back on, engine placed back in, and the seats set back inside. The seats are not currently bolted down, I just put them back in there.

I purchased a parts car and stripped off what was left. That means I now have a second set of doors, extra fuel tanks, two heater boxes and blowers, two front suspensions, two rear axles, 9 rims and tires (4 on the car now and 5 with old tires), two backseats, extra front quarter panels, etc.

I have a LONG list of new and used parts that I purchased. I was trying to buy replacement parts early so that I had them ready as I restored the car. Now I have boxes and boxes of new and used parts.

We've spent almost $8500 total on the car and the parts. You can see a detailed breakdown on the spreadsheet link. The finished value of the car is hard to say. Typically $50K and up for a quality restoration.

1958 Jaguar Mark VIII (Mark 8) Sedan. 57,280 miles. Manual transmission. Clean title.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
