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.

1965 Jaguar E-Type with just 8,000 miles is headed to auction

Sun, Jul 18 2021

The Jaguar E-Type is considered by many to be the most beautiful car ever built, and that's particularly true of the first-generation, Series 1 cars. And while there are plenty of gorgeously restored examples, there can't be too many unrestored E-Types as well preserved as this 1965 roadster that will cross the block at the Gooding Pebble Beach Auction next month. Finished in black with a black top and matching interior, this E-Type was sold new to Ronald Goldstein, of East Longmeadow, Mass. The car remained with its original family until earlier this year, acquiring just over 8,000 miles before it was retired to the garage in 1972. Owing to its long storage, the exterior is dusty, light surface rust is visible on the bumper, and the plastic rear window is cloudy. But the car appears remarkably intact, particularly the interior. According to Gooding, this Jaguar retains its numbers-matching powertrain, a 4.2-liter DOHC inline-six engine and four-speed manual transmission, wears its factory paint, and even rolls on its original Dunlop tires. It also has its original Blaupunkt radio, factory soft top, convertible top boot, maintenance booklet, warranty card, and more. This has to be one of the most original Series 1 E-Types left in existence. We expect bidders will be raising their paddles high for this one. The dilemma for the winner will be whether to wash off that 56-year accumulation of dust and let this Jag's original beauty shine through.

Jaguar C-X17 crossover concept revealed, hides new lightweight aluminum architecture

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Just as Jaguar teased earlier this month, the luxury marque is debuting its first-ever sports crossover concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins this week. In addition to previewing what a soft-roading Jag might look like, the C-X17 concept also showcases the brand's new advanced unibody aluminum architecture, which it calls the future of its brand.
The British automaker touts the new technical foundation as high-strength, lightweight and extremely stiff, and notes that it incorporates sustainable technologies such as a high-strength alloy made from recycled raw material. The architecture's flexibility means Jaguar will be able to simultaneously manufacture several vehicles on the same production line - a change that will ultimately help the automaker grow its product portfolio.
Indeed, if the C-X17 concept sees production, it would represent a completely new direction for Jaguar, which has previously focused on luxury sedans and sports cars. However, while Jaguar says a range of future models will be built using the new architecture, it hasn't yet mentioned a crossover. The first model to be built on the new underpinnings will launch globally in 2015, and it's - you guessed it - a premium midsize sedan.

Seven-figure cars highlight day one of RM's Monterey auction

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

RM Auctions is one of several houses holding auctions during the Monterey weekend, and Friday night's festivities got quite pricey. Seven-figure vehicles were not at all uncommon during the first day of the two-day event, with the 1953 Ferrari 375 MM Spider, seen above, crossing the block for $9,075,000.
Other big earners included a pair of rare Ferraris, a 1950 166 MM Barchetta and a 1955 750 Monza Spider, which took $3,080,000 and $4,070,000, respectively. Outside of the red Italians, a 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special captured $7,480,000 while a stunning, color-appropriate 1955 Jaguar D-Type took $3,850,000. We've got images of these vehicles, and a few other stunning examples of last night's auction, in the gallery above.
Thought it seems impossible, tonight's auction is expected to see even more high-dollar action. The winner of the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours, a 1928 Mercedes-Benz 680S Torpedo Roadster is expected to command over $10 million. Also crossing the block will be a car we reported on a few weeks back - a supremely rare 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spyder. One of only 10 in the world, it's expected to take anywhere from $14 to $17 million when it hits the stage tonight.
