1986 Jaguar Xjs With Reliable Gm 350 V8 Fuel Injected Conversion on 2040-cars
Portland, Maine, United States
|
This is a truly rare eye turner that gets about 4 blown away comments a day here in Maine. It is my daily driver and super reliable. It is inspected in Maine until September and will take another no problem. None and imean none of the old Jaguar fuel line, engine, and electrical problems!!! parts are so cheap now, and i just did the most difficult maintenance on the car by putting all new inbound brakes on rear of the car! This car has a GM TBI fuel injected 350 in it with custom brackets and has vortec headers.the engine was rebuilt 50,000 miles ago and has a fresh oil change.The 400 gm transmission which is standard in these jags was rebuilt 8,000 miles ago. This car is super smooth and solid. The v8 is so much lighter then the v12 that the front end raised 2 inches so custom brackets where put in the rear to raise it two inches. car is super tight, and handles better then the other jags on the road!
There is virtually no rust on this car it has always been garaged and the car has always had an underlining on it. it is finally stating to peal off so you can see the original red paint under the car!! no rust on an 86 jag! you can see in the pics the car is straight, no dents or issues, id give the exterior a 8.5 and the interior an 8. The car also has a new pioneer deck,with 4 dual 3way speakers. 51/4 front and 6x9 rear! car is pickup only, although id might deliver for a good price which would include gas.. obviously. all electronics are working in the car,and the car also has a very rare Aston Martin sunroof that does not even slightly leak. No leaks, tight steering and suspension. A true luxury car. I have never seen something so pretty sound so mad at the world. Thank you for looking and feel free to ask questions, i don't need a car for a while, i work in the building i live in. |

Jaguar XJ220 leaps into Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, Feb 15 2016Having sadly canceled the C-X75 project and sat out today's hybrid hypercar race, it would be all too easy to forget about Jaguar as a supercar manufacturer altogether. But back in the early '90s, the British automaker didn't just play in the supercar game – it dominated it. The XJ220 was, for a time, the fastest car in the world. Jay Leno pays tribute in this latest video. Originally envisioned with a V12 engine and all-wheel drive, the XJ220 ultimately surfaced with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 driving the rear wheels alone. None of that kept it from eclipsing the top speed achieved by every supercar that came before with a terminal velocity that didn't quite reach the 220 miles per hour initially promised, but came pretty darn close. The disappointment in the change of specification lead some to dismiss the XJ220 as a failure, but it was still the fastest thing on the road until another British supercar (in the form of the McLaren F1) took its place at the pinnacle of automotive bragging rights. Two decades later, Jaguar quite nearly drove down the same road when its initial plans for the C-X75 changed from an experimental turbine powertrain to a multi-charged inline-four. Only this time the Leaping Cat marque didn't put it into production at all, save for a few prototypes and movie props – which is a bit of a shame, and then some. Watching Jay speed down memory lane in the supercar that almost never was, we're glad that Jaguar still built the XJ220, and saddened that it never followed up with another groundbreaking supercar today.

Jaguar F-Type Coupe is here, will debut on stage in LA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013When Jaguar previewed its new sportscar two years ago with the C-X16 concept, it showed a coupe form. But when the car hit production as the F-Type, it rolled out in roadster form only. Not that we're complaining, but we all knew it wouldn't be long before Coventry revealed the production coupe, and that's just what it's doing at this month's LA Auto Show.
Jaguar hasn't given us much to go on yet - just a single shot of the vehicle from above and nothing in the way of technical details - but we all know the drill. The F-Type Coupe will essentially be the same as the existing roadster, only with a fixed roof - with a large glass panel, mind you, to let plenty of light in and keep the cabin from feeling markedly more claustrophobic than the open-top version.
That ought to make it a little lighter (though not much) and a little stiffer, but otherwise we can expect more or less the same specs as the convertible. We'll have to wait until the evening of November 19 to know for sure, though, so watch this space for more.
