The XKE has one possibly fatal flaw if the body has any rust- that is its monocoque construction(stressed skin instead of a frame, kind of like an airplane). It has sub frames carrying the engine and suspensions attached to the monocoque(body). If the body has internal rust-look out!! You need to have a careful inspection by someone familiar with these cars. It is 50's/60's racing design carried over to a production car, very light and strong. However, it is made of steel and we know what happens to steel over time. Good luck, it is a great car to mess around with and lots of fun to drive.
