What I'm requesting might be impossible seeing as the deal was so long ago, but I am very curious as to what has happened to my grandfather's 1958 Jaguar XK150. He traded a fishing boat for the car as a project car in the 70's. I believe it had a purple metal flake paint job with a Ford v8, I'm told it was very loud and the brakes didn't work at all. My grandfather never got the car going because it cost a lot of money to fix it. It needed all new brakes and some front suspension and steering components. The car sat in his backyard until he sold it to someone in the late 70's. He lived in Shaler, which lies in Allegheny county not even 10 minutes from Pittsburgh. If anyone could possibly know anything about this very specific car I'd love to hear it. Thank you for your help. Also my grandfathers name was Joe if that helps.
