Former Daily Driver. Good Restoration Candidate. All Matching Numbers. on 2040-cars
Naugatuck, Connecticut, United States
|
I have owned and garaged this auto since 1976 however; it hasn’t been driven as a daily driver for the past 10+ years. The car starts, drives, and runs well. Although tires and tubes are in good condition they are 30+ years old… so if you are the winning bidder, I would suggest shipping to your location. The interior is original with a few exceptions, Naugahyde covers dash and radio fascia. She has small dents, dings and off color paint in various places that the previous owner had repaired. Windshield is cracked on driver’s side. Repaired the driver side sill (rust underneath battery) but it’s not proper. I purchased the car with a dented passenger foot well and never replaced it. Engine, drive train, clutch, and brakes are in good condition. Complete brake job front and rear and new clutch in the early 80’s. There is damage to bonnet top (dents) and poor repair of cam hump, dent in passenger side front fender, old bondo repair behind gas cap. Mileage is approximately 64,000. Speedometer was repaired by Checkered Flag New Haven, CT and reset in 1977 with approximately 25,000 miles on car.
AS IS - NO WARRANTY Finally, I am not a used car emporium or dealer so this vehicle is being sold as is, with no warranty - express, written or implied. If you are the winning bidder you are responsible for pickup or shipping of this vehicle and any associated expenses. I assume no responsibility for damages incurred during loading of the vehicle by you or your shippers or damages incurred after the vehicle leaves my house. Full payment must be received before the vehicle is delivered to, or picked up by the winning bidder’s shipping company. Funds must be received and cleared before I will sign a bill of sale and title; a wire transfer or other cash equivalent is required for bids from outside the Continental United States. |

Jaguar turns down offers to join V8 Supercars, questions AMG, Volvo participation
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Rumors have swirled in recent weeks that Jaguar may be the next manufacturer to join the V8 Supercars racing series, made popular in Australia but now well-known in other parts of the world as well. Sadly, Jag's participation is not to be. In fact, it would be "insane," according to Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific Managing Director David Blackhall, for it to accept either of the two offers it has received to bring Jaguar into V8 Supercars.
Not only is Jaguar not interested in entering V8 Supercars, says Blackhall, it also fails to understand the recent entries from AMG and Volvo. "I don't know what it does for AMG to get flogged by a V8 Commodore week after week, but it's their brand, their issue. And the same thing will happen to Volvo to be honest."
Judging by Blackhall's statements to motoring.com.au, after not-so-serious consideration, the automaker decided the monetary commitment it would take to compete for wins would be more than any potential exposure would be worth, despite the fact that Jaguar has a 5.0-liter V8 to go along with what would seem to be a tailor-made rear-wheel-drive chassis. For what it's worth, one offer would have had Jaguar putting its name across an engine made by someone else, an option that was flatly turned down.
2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe [w/video]
Thu, 16 Jan 2014This is it. This is the nasty cat we've been hankering for most. Whereas the Jaguar F-Type convertible remains the company's purest expression of lifestyle fun and expendable income, it's this coupe version that originally stole our eyeballs and never gave them back when it debuted as the C-X16 Concept way back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. And now we've had an early turn at driving the most potent variant, the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.
This F-Type Coupe design is so utterly visually stunning that, even if something dynamically or functionally was not really to our liking, we would still want to have the wherewithal to buy one and garage it, if only to stare at it - not unlike our reaction to the 2007-2009 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione coupe, then. Whether such beauty needs to be in the form of this $99,000 mondo 542-horsepower R version or the more attainable six-cylinder trim is an open question.
In case you need reminding, that's 542 horses maxing out at 6,500 rpm, along with 502 pound-feet of torque on tap between 2,500 and 5,500 revs. There is no indicator yet as to whether Jaguar will eventually come out with an R version beyond the 488-hp V8 S for the convertible, either, so this may well be our only shot at such hair-brained antics in this small Jag. Small and not quite light, we should add - despite its all-aluminum goodness - the F Coupe rings in at 3,638 pounds. That sort of heft is one thing on the street, but it's quite another on a twisty roadcourse, and we aimed to figure out if the coupe's 80-percent greater stiffness versus the open F-Type (along with its higher attendant spring rates) were enough to make a big difference.
Jaguar XK to cease production this summer
Mon, 10 Mar 2014With the introduction of the F-Type coupe and convertible, Jaguar has cleared room in its sports car lineup to drop the XK for new models. "There will be a 2015 model year XK, but the rumors are true, production for the XK will end later this year after eight years," said Wayne York Kung, Jaguar USA National Product Communications Manager, in an email to Autoblog. A replacement for the GT might be a very long way off.
The automaker told Auto Express that it's part of a "wider strategic vision and product planning cycle." Ending assembly will allow the feline luxury brand to build better-selling vehicles like the XE, its upcoming BMW 3 Series fighter. The new sedan is scheduled to go on sale in Europe in 2015 and in the US in 2016. It also needs to make room for the C-X17 crossover to be built, which is likely expected to sell better than a 2+2 GT car.
"There are no immediate plans to replace the XK," said Kung in his email. Jag was rumored to be considering moving a future generation of it upmarket. The new model would have been a bigger, softer grand tourer and allow the F-Type to be the brand's more hardcore sports car.
