This 1971 Jaguar E-type is a needy example of what’s arguably the least desirable model built, a late production SIII 2+2 coupe. It’s still an E-type though, and deserves better than being left to rot. This one has had a Plymouth 318 swapped in at some point, and though still running it will need brake work at a minimum prior to being drivable. Find it here on Craigslist in Denver, Colorado for $9k. Special thanks to BaT reader Terry W. for this submission.

The car will need quite a bit of bodywork, particularly the heavily rusted bonnet–a large and expensive piece. All glass is said to be good apart from the windshield, and trim looks to be complete as well. It’d be nice to see the rockers and floors more in detail however, as additional corrosion is almost certain to be present underneath.

The original V12 has been swapped for a Mopar 318 at some point in the past, and the seller says it runs well with no knocking or smoke. They haven’t attempted to put it in gear however, as brakes still need work. No additional mechanical details are provided, but it’d be smart to budget for a full overhaul of all systems including suspension, steering, suspension and electricals as well.

Trades may be welcome, but the seller gives no specifics as to what they’re looking for. Hagerty lists even a number four example as being worth over $25k, and though this one is obviously too rough for that category, it could still have a lot of potential.
