1970 Jaguar Xj, New Paint, No Rust, Chevy 350/400 on 2040-cars
Woodland Hills, California, United States
|
1970 Jaguar XJ has been fully gone through and can be driven
anywhere! This is a classy car with all the amenities and comfort of a newer
car and turns heads everywhere it goes. The car drives straight, rides smooth
and begs to be driven on the highway. Body: Body is in very nice shape and rust free. It has been
repainted in the original signal red color code. All the panels line up and gaps are even. The
rear windshield seal has been replaced and the new front windshield seal is included with
the sale of the car (not installed). It doesn’t leak but should be replaced in
the near future. All the chrome and trim is in very nice condition. Brakes: All of the brakes have been rebuilt and/or replaced.
Extensive amount of work has gone into this car. The power brake booster was
rebuilt, a new master cylinder was installed as well as all four brake calipers
were rebuilt within the last year. New rotors and pads all the way around as
well as new front and rear brake hoses. Drivetrain: The car sports a healthy Chevy 350 cu in. mated
to a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. New Holley 390cfm carburetor. Very
reliable, easy to maintain and plenty of power. The speedometer cable is not
hooked up but I believe there are adapter kits to go from the Jaguar speedo to
the Chevy transmission. The drive shaft and half shafts all have new u-joints. This car sounds great and turns heads! Suspension: The suspension is solid and doesn’t squeak or
make any unusual noises. Several bushings have been replaced recently. Interior: The interior is presentable but could use some
attention. I had started to reupholster the upper headliner surround pieces in
black and they look really nice but never got around to the rest of the
interior. The driver seat is still very comfortable but the bottom straps for
the passenger seat are worn and it sags in the middle. All of the power windows
operate. All of the dash instrumentation panel lights work. Things to note: Since we bought this car the fuel tank on
the left side (driver) had not been in use for an unknown amount of time. The
car only uses the fuel tank on the right side. Condition of heater and AC are
unknown. I have never fiddled with the heater to see if it works. The car seems
to have a complete AC as well but I don’t think it works. The car has a CD player and nice speakers all the way around but I believe the fuse in the CD head unit is blown. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. |

First Jaguar C-Type Continuation ready for delivery, and you can still buy one
Wed, Jun 29 2022Jaguar's XK120-C is known by its far more famous name, C-Type, known for winning Le Mans twice, and known for being the first car equipped with disc brakes to win a race in international competition. That latter victory happened on June 29, 1952, at the sports car race held ahead of the Formula II Grand Prix at Reims, France, with Sir Stirling Moss at the wheel. Today marking the 70th anniversary of that win, Jaguar has chosen it to announce the first C-Type Continuation is ready for delivery. This is one of eight continuation C-Types the English automaker announced in January 2021, all of them built to similar specification as the 1953 C-Type that earned the model's second win at La Sarthe, meaning a 3.4-liter, 220-horsepower straight-six sporting three Weber carbs and disc brakes at the four corners. This one is finished in Pastel Green paint with Suede Green seats, recalling the car Moss raced in Reims the year before. The Continuations are being built at the Jaguar Classic Works in Coventry, each needing 3,000 hours to complete due to using the same build techniques that went into creating the original cars. After the build, Classics engineers put each example through 250-mile shakedown. Once the run is complete, Jaguar said it planned to host a motorsports-themed celebration for the octet. Owners can enjoy plenty of other track days as well, the Continuations being approved by the FIA to run in all FIA Historic events. Owners won't need to worry about seeing their car everywhere, either, since the C-Type is a rarity even with these additions; Jaguar only built 53 of the original. Seems an undisclosed number of C-Type Continuations are still available to purchase. If visuals can sway any prospective buyers, Jaguar created a configurator showcasing the 12 exterior colors, eight leather hues, and two roundels that can be optioned. The carmaker hasn't mentioned pricing publicly, but it's thought to be north of seven figures.Â
Ian Callum makes the Jaguar C-X75 concept street-legal
Thu, Feb 29 2024Unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the Jaguar C-X75 could have been one of the British brand's wildest and coolest models. It received the green light for production, got canned, and resurfaced in the 2015 James Bond movie Spectre before disappearing for good. However, not everyone has forgotten it: Callum, the design firm founded by former Jaguar design boss Ian Callum, has made a C-X75 street-legal. Precisely how Callum's customer ended up with a C-X75 remains a mystery. The example modified is one of the four surviving stunt cars built by Williams Advanced Engineering for Spectre, so it might be the one that auction house RM Sotheby's offered at its Abu Dhabi sale in November 2019. The car was estimated to sell for anywhere between $800,000 and $1.2 million; it ended up not selling during the auction. Regardless, Callum was the right person to take on the Herculean task of making an obscure, experimental supercar street-legal, as he led the team that designed the model. His company made hundreds of small but significant changes including replacing the glass, adding a quieter exhaust with catalytic converters, making tuning changes to the supercharged, 5.0-liter V8, and fitting additional switches inside. Interestingly, the stunt cars were built with foam door mirrors. These had to be replaced with real mirrors fitted with turn signal repeaters. The team also took advantage of the tear-down to make visual improvements, such as reducing and aligning the panel gaps. The C-X75 received a new coat of paint, and engineers made changes to the suspension system — they notably adjusted the ride height. It helps that this version of the C-X75 uses an engine already approved for road use; the V8 has powered the Range Rover, among other cars. Callum's street-legal Jaguar C-X75 will make its public debut at the Bicester Heritage Scramble event held in England on April 21, 2024.

Watch this bad parker get what's coming to him
Fri, 02 Aug 2013If you're lucky enough to have a nice vehicle, do your fellow gearheads a favor and don't park like a clown. Seriously. Not only will you anger everyone who is trying to find a place to park, but your nice car is a billboard reinforcing the stereotype that car people are self-important and inconsiderate.
Take this gentleman for example. He has a Jaguar XK, and understandably wants to take care of it. Rather than parking it far, far away from any other cars and getting a bit of exercise by walking to his building, he takes up two spots (albeit barely) close to the structure. From the cameraman's narration, we can tell his coworkers are less than thrilled about his inability to stay between the lines.
Naturally, they wanted to teach him a lesson, so they parked a bigger vehicle as close to his driver's door as possible. Mr. XK's attempts to enter his vehicle are rather amusing, culminating in his climbing through the passenger side and scooching over to the driver's seat. While we can debate this sort of treatment all day long, it was effective. The video includes a follow up at the end showing where the XK driver parked the next day, and as you might guess, it wasn't in the same spot.
