Opening bid 4,000 no bids ends in 3d, seller retrogrademan, mileage not stated

Seller's description:

Vehicle was put in a barn in 1987. It had gas and oil stabilizer added to the tanks. Radiator holding fluids. Electrical lights up with the new battery. Vehicle has got a key. Hood, trunk and doors all open. The glass is in good shape all around. No dents but paint has flaked off in a couple locations (pieces are preserved for attachment if desired). Engine has not been attempted to start. Engine has been turned at crankshaft. Vehicle was rescued from barn and towed to Nashville TN residence and been cleaned inside and out to best of my ability. Has one new tire and valve. Hub caps are present in the trunk but rough. Little surface rust but large paint flake fell off (preserved). Footboards all seem to be solid, unknown condition concerning the undercarriage but assumed to be normal. Under the hood it is all in tact. The air filter and carbonators were removed, semi-cleaned and inspected and seem to be okay (as seen in final photo). As far as I can tell, all major and minor components are present in the car. The hood jaguar ornament is present and complete but requires installation, possibly an old replacement but the correct one for that vehicle.

I'm pretty sure this vehicle was a "Gray Market' import. I think the car was originally owned in Germany and later bright into the port of Jacksonville FL in the early 1980s and briefly had a FL title before later getting a TN title by previous owner. The current title is a clean title in my name. The odometer is in Kilometers, the vehicle steering wheel is Left hand Drive (USA specs). This vehicle has 4-speed manual along with the built-in Overdrive toggle switch which aides in both fuel economy and higher end speeds.Interior is rough with worn seats and dash. No evidence of rewiring or dash controls being messed up. German writing on the radio. I think all the windows work. We had a key made and got additional blanks. Assorted paperwork present before the vehicle was placed in a barn for storage along with a VW camper and a Porsche. Decedent owned seven homes in Decker TN and all vehicles were assumed running when stored away and essentially forgotten about. Vehicle is assumed to be non-running and will require a trailer/ tow truck
