Jaguar XJ6 with Dodge Slant 6 engine from Arizona (never salted) Call 920-320-9192 with questions Here we have up for your consideration this super clean 85 Jaguar XJ6 with transplant engine/trans Mopar Slant 6. When I lived in So Cal this car would not be that unusual but here in the Mid West it is...Everything here in Wisconsin is really Rusty Crusty! So if you want a rust free car then this auction is for you.Ever think about jumping on a Plane and going to get a rust free car..I have! What's that worth for a project car that has a good base to start with..The original engine is gone and replaced with the late 1980 ish I think it is 1987 maybe or so Slant 6. The engine has electronic ignition so think it is later and has aluminum intake. The transmission is also Mopar and will have to say it all fits in there very well... I registered the car to make sure there was no problems..I have no where to store it so it has to move to the next owner. When I bought it the brakes where not working and was told it was a line but after inspecting how truly rust free this car was I looked elsewhere and it turned out to be the master cylinder tank.(plastic)was cracked.It has brakes now but does not stop great the calipers are working but not correctly....I will have to add that it was a pleasure to bleed a car brakes when they came right loose because of the no salt on car thing...It was nice! All window glass seems to have no cracks in...etc.The car sat for a long long time at a local restaurant stranded. I think they drove this car from Arizona to Wisconsin so that is kinda amazing in it self. Most everything crucial seems to work. Electric windows even work. Sunroof is stuck and does not work but motor makes noise. Engine runs good and it drives ok. The power steering line had a pin hole and leaked so I cut it and spiced it back together. Brake lights where not working and it ended up being a switch. I bought it off eBay. Speedometer is not hooked up by transmission ..I looked! I think the door panels must have been replaced because they are too nice to be original..Seats are ok but have a tear here and there...Seat covers will fix it. Carpet is nice and doors shut really really nice. I'm not sure of actual miles on car since speedo is not hooked up but think is is somewhat close to what it says plus 5k or so but that is a guess. The oil pressure gauge is working and think the alternator. The temp sensor gauge is not. I think the engine and trans are solid ..just as a side note.I was told the engine was out of a truck but that has not been confirmed. The engine numbers are under a bracket and have been lazy..I'm fixing a few things as the auction continues that need to be addressed I have been driving the car and put new bushings and boots in the rack and pinion so that's done and drives nice....If you had this done I'm sure they would charge $800 or so to have this done. wiring on the car under the hood to hook up engine looks like a fifth grader worked on it but I guess it works but should be gone through Gauges need to be addressed. Car looks like it was repainted at one time... sold as is as a hot rod project...but it does run and drive. I bought a 73 Jaguar in California when I lived there and it had a 350 chev transpant and the guy who had it done by someone charged him $5000. Who ever gets this project car will fall in love with it...Its a nice ride! Let me know if you have interest...You need to be a Mechanical person and enjoy working on cars to own this! The car is located in Manitowoc ,WI 54220 Sold AS -IS |

Jaguar launches new classic racing series
Fri, 14 Nov 2014One-make racing series have become all the rage for customers who want to actually race their exotic sports cars (or competition-spec versions of them, anyway). Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini and Aston Martin all offer such programs, and Porsche supports several. Now Jaguar is getting in on the action as well, but instead of turning one of its production models - we're looking at you, F-Type - into a spec racer, it's launching an historic racing series instead.
The 2015 Jaguar Heritage Challenge will be open to cars made by the Leaping Cat marque before 1966, including the C-Type, D-Type, E-Type and Mk I and MkII sedans. The series, which builds on the success of the previous Jaguar E-Type Challenge, will be administered by the Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC) based at Silverstone and will include four races in the UK and one in Europe, with the exact schedule still to be determined.
The program was announced at the launch of the Jaguar Heritage Driving Experience, where Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations director John Edwards was also named chairman of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, replacing former Jaguar managing director Mike O'Driscoll who chaired the organization for the past five years.
1964 Jaguar XKE slinks into Jay Leno's Garage
Wed, 07 Aug 2013The idea of altering a classic Jaguar E-Type might seem preposterous to some, but Jasen Len of XKs Unlimited managed to create a modified 1964 E-Type that stays true to the Jag's timeless design. Just a few months after Jay Leno featured his own original E-Type on Jay Leno's Garage, Len stopped by to show off his custom Jaguar creation.
Starting out with a rust-ravaged body, Len made the car just the way he wanted it to be. He started off with some minor changes to the car's exterior like the Le Mans-inspired racing lights and handmade front bumpers, handmade sills with integrated exhaust and flared rear fenders. Inside, he dropped the floor to make more interior space and reworked the E-Type's styling for more of a modern look. We have to say, if you're going to mess with a Series 1 E-Type, this is the way to do it.
Sadly, even though Len and Leno spend plenty of time talking about the car's 300-horsepower 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder, we never get to hear the car fire up. Check out the JLG video, which is posted below, and as a bonus, enjoy the gallery from Jaguar showing a 1961 E-Type.
Jaguar F-Type US order guide loose online
Fri, 08 Feb 2013
An alleged US order guide for the 2014 Jaguar F-Type has made its way online courtesy of the good people at F-TypeClub.com, documenting everything from wheel color options to special equipment packages. From the looks of things, buyers will be able to choose from a total of eight wheel designs in sizes ranging from 18 inches on the base model all the way up to 20 inches. While most of those rollers are available in either silver or black finishes, the 20-inch blade-style wheels are not only forged, but come with carbon-fiber trim. Fancy.
Depending on trim, F-Type buyers will get to choose between two types of seat, including a set of performance-style 14-way power adjustable thrones, complete with seat belts in black, red or tan. Other fun tricks include available power folding side view mirrors and a 770-watt, 14-speaker Meridian sound system.
