Certainly worth the effort involved. When you are able take her out onto the back roads & let her run. :encouragement:

Beautiful! What year... I am not good at guessing Jags except I think it is pre 1967 because of the light covers.
1962, series 1, 3.8L straight six.

I had a buddy with a 67 with the straight 6. They are amazing cars. That era cars were fun to drive. You have a great one.

For sale fresh patina....
Wow - lots of great memories there. My grandfather had a 1962 Chevy Pickup very similar to this except it was a stepside with wood floors for hauling cows to the auction.
When I stayed with them in the summers, I would ride in the bed on our weekly trip into town for shopping and groceries. He never drove above 35 MPH.
If it was raining, I would ride inside and listen to the fuel sloshing around in the upright tank inside the cab right behind the bench seat. (Note the filler is just behind the driver's door handle!)
A photo of my grandparents with the old '62 Chevy truck back around 1980. When they died (1990 and 1992), the truck had just rolled over 32,000 miles.

When my grandfather passed in 1990, I was stationed in Alaska. I could not get off to come to the funeral. A month later, my mother sold the truck back to the Chevy dealer (probably for $100) and I never saw it again. :heart-borken: :upset:
I love this picture, a great memory to have. :encouragement:

Oh, does this bring back memories. In the 50's I use to ride in the bed of my uncles Ford pickup when he drove from Kamas to Salt Lake City to re-stalk his drugstore. Unfortunately because of today's Nanny State, kids will never experience the joy of riding in the back of a pickup.
Wow nice truck.:encouragement: The PNW seems to have many survivor old cars & trucks.
