I am selling my 1967 Jag 2+2 project. We purchased it as a complete driver car minus the engine and trans. It came with a Ford V8 conversion kit, headers, ect but we didn't want to build it that way. I am a former Toyota mechanic and had an '86 Supra drivetrain in the shop. It fit with very little modification in the engine bay. We were building it as a driver and so i wasn't interested in the the typical wiring, leaking, and carb problems. We wanted to retain the DOHC 6 look but wanted EFI reliability and performance that the Supra has.

I rebuilt the engine stock but polished anything aluminum, and there is alot of aluminum on this engine. It has a new clutch, pressure plate, throwout, ect. It is a 5 speed manual trans. I had a custom driveshaft built for Toyota trans to Jag differential. It has new adjustable front gas shocks.  I have many new brake parts for it (pads, SS lines, ect.) The alternator had to be relocated under the front of the engine rather to the side and it is approx 70% finished. The stock exhaust will clear but will need a good bender to fit it.  Everything else fits very nicely. We removed the complete wiring harness from the Supra and currently the harness has been fit into the jag but will require the finishing of connecting things. I have a very good factory Supra wiring manual to complete the process.
The body needed some new sheetmetal. A small section of the floor was replaced, new rockers, new trunk floor and new quarters were built and and installed. Once the sheetmetal was installed I did the bodywork and paint. I shot House of Color Blood Red on the car and cleared it. There was some slight overlapping so it still needs to be touched up and buffed out. I installed Mazda door latches for safety. Otherwise the body is stock appearing. Glass is all very good. I have new many new chrome pieces for it. It has billet aluminum pedals.
The original black interior is still in very nice, usable condition. I purchased later Jag dash gauges, electric, to work with the Toyota wiring harness and sensors.The original gauges come with the car. Included with the car are many new parts such as a HD aluminum radiator, wood grain dash, new chrome bumpers, ect. The wheels are good for a driver.
Overall, this is going to be a very neat driver when completed. It retains its original look, even the engine will fool many people as being the original, but you will have a major upgrade for performance and reliability. It is 100+% complete for parts needed and about 80% completed to finish it. Comes with clear title.

Please ask any questions before bidding. Sold as is. Serious bidders only

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Typically, these track battle videos pair up car against car or, in more disparate circumstances, car versus crossover, as we saw the other day. While the outcome of that battle was quite predictable, what'll happen when an equally fetching (and fast) four-wheeler is put up against one of the icons of the two-wheeled world? Evo just had to find out.
Matching up a Jaguar F-Type V6 S Convertible against a Triumph Street Triple R is at least more of an even fight than the last battle between the Porsche Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. The Triumph has a 675-cc engine to work with, and is very light. Meanwhile, the Jag has a thumping 380-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 to haul about it's considerably heftier heft. Who will come out on top?
You'll need to watch the full video to find out.

NHTSA is investigating FCA shifters for roll-away accidents again, this time the rotary units

Tue, Dec 20 2016

It seems FCA's shifter troubles aren't over yet. Now, just a few months after issuing a recall to resolve user-related issues with its monostable shifters, the company is again under investigation by NHTSA. The issue is related to the potential for cars to roll away when the rotary-style shifter is not properly placed in park. Two FCA models are the subject of this investigation: the 2013–2016 Ram 1500 and the 2014–2016 Dodge Durango. NHTSA estimates about 1,000,000 vehicles would be affected if a recall is issued. The investigation was started following 43 complaints of vehicles rolling away while supposedly being in "park." Among the complaints were reports of 25 crashes and 9 injuries. NHTSA does point out that in every incident, the parking brake was not engaged. A representative from FCA also gave us an official statement regarding the investigation: "FCA US is cooperating fully with NHTSA's investigation, the scope of which is limited. Other vehicles equipped with rotary shifters are not included. In accordance with prudent practice, the Company joins NHTSA in urging all drivers to use their vehicles' parking brakes." View 35 Photos As mentioned above, other Chrysler products with rotary shifters, such as the Pacifica minivan and 200 sedan, are not involved in this investigation. One of the key differences, as the representative told us, is that these vehicles have electronic parking brakes that automatically engage if the driver does not select park and then opens the door with the seatbelt unbuckled. The Ram 1500 and Durango feature mechanical, manually operated parking brakes and therefore cannot activate the brake automatically. Because this is currently an investigation, an exact cause for the incidents has yet to be determined, and none of the vehicles have been recalled. It's possible there could be a mechanical defect. However, the issue could be a confusing interface causing user error, as was the case with FCA's monostable shifters, where drivers think they've put the car in park but actually haven't. Something that indicates it could be a case of confused users is that NHTSA also opened an investigation into 2012–2014 Jaguar XF and Land Rover Range Rover Evoques for similar issues. Both vehicles use a rotary shifter and have had roll-away complaints levied as well. Even if it is a case of user error, FCA and Jaguar Land Rover may still have to recall their vehicles.

Jay Leno drives the Jaguar F-Type Project 7

Tue, Sep 22 2015

Even for Jay Leno, Monterey Car Week is a special experience. After all, his collection is absolutely massive, but vehicles show up for this exclusive event on the California peninsula that even Jay doesn't know about. He's giving us a just a tiny taste of this year's event in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. The majority of this clip is dedicated to an in-depth look at the Jaguar F-Type Project 7, and Jay gets the details direct from designer Ian Callum. The two of them are old friends after doing the 2014 Mille Miglia together in a Jaguar XK120. After getting a mountain of info about the inspiration behind this special F-Type, they go for a ride on some beautiful California roads to listen to the wonderful, crackling exhaust. Following the drive, Jay finds a racecar from the teens that he is completely unfamiliar with. Thankfully, the mechanic is nearby to shed some light on this rarity. We hope there're more videos to come about Leno's visit to Monterey Car Week, but hopefully his team can fix some of the sound issues in this clip.
