Sellers description:
This car was owned by our late father who passed away last November. The car has been sitting covered up in a pole barn in rural Wisconsin outside of Appleton, WI for many years. The body is in excellent condition and the interior is in good overall condition, however it does not start or run. We are not sure the last time he drove it. When he did drive it, it was recreationally as a "Sunday driver", as the car only has 67,533 miles on it (it had 64,422 miles on it when he bought it in 1986). This vehicle is all stock, and after the engine is repaired will be ready to roll. The body is solid and the doors and moving parts are all solid and click into place cleanly. The interior is in fair-to-good condition. The original leather seats are not torn, although they are worn in places. The dashboard and wood trim looks great. We also have many spare parts and a shop manual for the car.

FANTASTIC GREEN SANDS COLOR. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE BODY AND COLOR AND BEING A COLLECTOR I KNEW THE HORRORS OF THE EARLY JAGS. I DIDN'T CARE IT WAS SO PRETTY. SADLY I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND IT'S HARD TO FIND A GOOD ONE. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS RUST IN THE ROCKERS AND PART OF THE FLOOR. THE BODY AND BRIGHTWORK ARE AMAZING BUT ROCKERS HAVE RUST. THE CAR SAT FOR 5 YEARS BEFORE I GOT IT SO BAD GAS ETC. THATS ALL BEEN FIXED BUT THE CAR IS STILL NOT RUNNING GREAT BUT DOES RUN OK. THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY REPLACE INCLUDING LINES BUT THE BOOSTER STILL NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. I AM LISTING AT NO RESERVE AND THE HIGH BIDDER WILL GET A HELL OF A DEAL.
