1967 Other Makes:Interceptor MkI
Winning Bid:US $425 - 28 Bids
Location:Emeryville,CA
Miles:1 Doors:2 Transmission: Automatic
Engine:8-Cyl Year:1967
VIN Number: *** ****
Title:Clear Exterior:Gray
Condition:Used
Options: Leather Seats,Power Windows
Vehicle Description:
Jensen built over 6000 Interceptors,continually developing and debugging the model for nearly ten years until it almost wasen't horrible.
Alas,this is an extremely early example,so it's horrible in every concievable way.
Granted,as the 180th Interceptorever made,this right hand drive '67 Type 1 could be worse.The first few dozen of these overheating,pig-handling,self immolating rust-buckets came with Vignale-built bodies of such staggeringly poor qualitythat the English woulden't accept them,which is saying quite a mouthful.Even as it is,this British--built version was apparently made from an alloy of salt,wet newspapers,andtuna cans.The front floors,both sills,most of the exteriorfront bodywork,and the left doorpost are all shot;the inner front fenders,and box sections have taken a similar stroll across the periodic table,as have the lower parts of all four outer fenders.The hood,while fairly free of corrosion,appears tohave been run over by a monster truck.
On the upside,the greenhouse and rear clip aren't too bad.The rear suspension points are nice & solid,& the twin sewer-pipe tube frame--miraculously escaping the usual rust ahead of the firewall that causes the entire front half of these cars to break off & roll away on their own--is totaly sound.I can only say chalk this up to a liberal coating of Limey lubricants having leaked from the sump & gearbox.
The engine (a Jensen-spec Chrysler 383),transmission (787 Torque-Flite),brakes,& radiator were all supposedly rebuilt by the cars last owner.I half-heartedly buy it,regarding the brakes and radiator,which look pretty new.As to the engine,I think he's defined "rebuild" asd "a new can of Ford Blue engine paint".
This fine example of how Britain lost its empire comes with good glass all around,working window motors,good (rare Type1) dash & console metal,the pathetic remains of Four original Armstrong Selectaride shocks,& a fairly cursory paper trail.
Vehicle Condition:
Pretty sorry a**.But go ahead and e-mail me with any questions,as I love to be reminded of that.
Terms of Sale:
For starters,you can get it out of my driveway.
Talk about low- key selling.
This was an actual e-Bay ad.
