Flawless, one of a kind Jaguar conversion. The Jag is running a custom built LT4 Chevy 5.7 liter engine with a 6 speed manual T56 transmission. This high performance combination makes the car extremely rare in the world of Jaguar Chevy conversions. The car is also desirable because it is a 1986 XJ6 body with a 1973 XJ12 chassis and VIN number. The 1973 VIN number makes the car smog legal in California. Buyer should verify smog restriction in their state. I have spent the last 12 year customizing and perfecting the car's setup. The work and the car have been a labor of love for me. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a completely sorted and rare Jag Chevy conversion with tens of thousands dollars invested and countless man hours. I’m 75 years old and I have honestly lost interest. My hope is the car will go to a deserving gear head. The car is pristine condition no dings, no rust, and always garaged. Please no dealer inquiries. Engine: The original engine was a LT1. It was putting out 164 horses to the rear tires when dynoed. I wasn't really happy with the power. So I pulled the engine and upgraded it to an LT4 aluminum heads, intake manifold and installed Chevy Hot Cam. After the upgrade the car dynoed at 281HP to the rear tires. T56 six speed transmission up the Dyno to the rear wheels to 289HP. The cars top speed is roughly 150mph. See Dyno PDF Transmission: The car has a professionally installed 6 speed T56 manual transmission. I did all of the interior modifications necessary to accommodate the clutch peddle and the gear shift. I wanted to insure the integrity of the original Jaguar interior. The transmission can handle 450 FTLB. of torque. The tires can be smoke in 1st and 2nd gear. Maybe 3rd I have not tired. Exhaust: The Exhaust was designed and installed by Ed Hanson. The go to man in San Diego for Hot Rod exhaust systems. The exhaust growl is that unique V8 growl. My ex wife thought the car was too loud. I think it is perfect. Anyone that knows cars can tell what it is when they hear it. Click the link to hear and see video of car: http://youtu.be/TGYWzsR8jDg Body: Custom paint was done five years ago. The cost was roughly $5000. There are not dings, dents or scratches. The car was always garaged and rarely driven. Please Feel to ask any question. I am a happy to answer any questions and talk cars by phone. The car can be test driven by appointment at my house. Buyer is responsible for any delivery transportation. The car will remain for sale until a 25% deposit in the form of cashiers check is delivered to me. Click the link Below to hear the Jag!!!! |

Jaguar releases C-X75 concept build story
Thu, 27 Jun 2013If you want to know what was going through the minds of decisionmakers at Jaguar when the company decided to build the batty C-X75 Concept, look no further than the quick video after the jump. Jaguar set about building a car with the performance of a Bugatti Veyron, the electric range of a Chevrolet Volt and the emissions of a Toyota Prius, and they turned to a legendary engineering firm to help make it happen. Williams, the same crew behind Williams F1, helped Jaguar stitch the concept car together, and the result is unlike anything we've seen before.
The twin-charged 1.6-liter four-cylinder mounted amidship is paired with an electric motor at each wheel for a combined output of over 850 horsepower. And, since the whole chassis is hewn from carbon fiber, a production version would've been light enough to give machines like the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari a run for their money. Shame they apparently couldn't make the business case work. Watch the concept build story in the video below for yourself.
Jaguar F-Type meets America in first TV spots
Wed, 15 May 2013With its new "Your Turn" global ad campaign, Jaguar has introduced its 2014 F-Type to the world of broadcast media. The effort takes aim at the monied 25-54 demographic, which makes sense of Jaguar recently shacking up with the 2013 Playboy Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun and San Francisco NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. You'll also be seeing the new roadster on ESPN's SportsCenter, late night ABC talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, the USA Network show Covert Affairs, the Sundance Channel and theaters, magazines and everywhere digital. On top of all that, a social media campaign includes a contest called #MyTurnToJag that will reward four winners with a custom drive in the new convertible.
You'll find the first two spots below, along with a press release on the roaring red marketing onslaught headed your way.
Wacky Jaguar crossover mule is a mind-blowing mashup
Tue, 03 Dec 2013As Jaguar prepares to introduce its first-ever utility vehicle, our spy shooters have captured this jacked-up XF mule out testing. While a production Jaguar crossover will surely resemble something closer to the recent C-X17 Concept, we can't help but think that the automaker could sell at least a few of these lifted, four-wheel-drive sedans.
Other than proving that Jaguar is hard at work developing this new model using a cobbled-together body, there are some details we can put together about this luxury CUV. For one it's about the same length as an XF, while the ride height is obviously taller and the tire track wider. We're not sure what the rig on top of this mule is for, but the whole car has us reminiscing about the old sedan versions of the Subaru Outback and the AMC Eagle (with a luxury spin, of course).
