1966 (titled 1967) Lotus Elan Coupe “pre-airflow”. A true “barn find”, 81K miles, full engine
and rear differential rebuild only 3,500 miles prior, but done back in the 1980's. Engine turns over freely (not frozen) but
unable to start currently as starter not installed (but is included). Car was owned in California 1970’s and in
Texas 1980’s. Last on road 1986, but has
been in storage ever since. Early Type
36 coupe VIN# 36/5736 Has “matching
numbers” original engine #LP5909LBA
Lotus twin cam engine with twin Weber carbs, nice original wood steering wheel,
3-ear spinner K/O hubs, comes with a new windshield and windshield surround molding. Car is very complete, original and unmolested
with all original equipment. Frame has
front upright rust/crack, but another 2nd frame (with its own rust issues) is included. Both frames will need some degree of metal repair
work. Car rolls freely, transmission
shifts gears, all glass good, stainless steel trim good. A Lotus Certificate of Provenance is
included, as well as original Lotus Elan Shop Manual. I can transport to a New York/New Jersey
shipping port for an additional fee for overseas buyers if needed.
THIS IS A TOTAL RESTORATION PROJECT – Look closely at ALL
the 80+ pictures!
