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. |

Jaguar C-X17 gets liquid metal finish for Dubai show [w/poll]
Sat, 09 Nov 2013We thought the C-X17 concept looked pretty good when Jaguar unveiled it in Frankfurt a couple of months ago. But that shade of blue, while nice enough, made it look like it shared more than a similar name with the Mazda CX-7. No, what a Jaguar needs is a more luxurious paint job than electric blue. And that's just what the British automaker has given its crossover concept in time for the Dubai Motor Show this week.
What we have here is the same C-X17, but repainted in what Jaguar calls "a lustrous Liquid Aluminum liquid metal finish," and we have but to agree. What do you think? Scope it out in the fresh batch of high-res images above and cast your vote in the poll below.

Jaguar to build 25 D-type racing cars to finish off 1956 production run
Wed, Feb 7 2018It's good to pick up where you left off, even if it's been more than 60 years. In 1956, Jaguar planned to built 100 D-type racing cars, but only 75 were completed. The missing 25 cars will now be built at Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works in Warwickshire, England, and they will all be built according to the original, authentic specifications. Customers can choose between 1955-style "Shortnose" cars and 1956-style "Longnose" versions; the prototype is of the latter specification. All of them will have the original six-cylinder XK engine, and they will come with a lot of Le Mans heritage, as D-types won the famous 24 hour race in 1955, 1956 and 1957. During their competition years, D-types were driven by such motorsport legends as Mike Hawthorn, Stirling Moss and John Fitch. This content is hosted by a third party.

Earlier, they announced they were building nine XKSS cars to finish off a production run that was cut short by a 1957 fire, and in 2015 the division built six Lightweight E-Types. The XKSS itself was strongly related to the D-type, as originally it was based on unfinished D-types sitting around in the workshop after Jaguar temporarily retired from racing. As Jaguar Classic's Engineering Manager Kev Riches says of the continuation cars: "Each one will be absolutely correct, down to the very last detail, just as Jaguar's Competitions Department intended." No pricing details have yet been announced, but they will surely follow the D-type's official debut at the Retromobile classic car show in Paris this week. Related Video:
Junkyard Gem: 2000 Jaguar S-Type
Fri, Jan 7 2022My junkyard studies of Jaguars have focused mostly on the four-wheeled felines of the 1960s through 1980s, but plenty of more recent Jags may be found in U-Pull-type yards around the continent. Today's Junkyard Gem appeared in a Northern California boneyard last summer, and it had stories to tell. Once Ford took over Jaguar in 1990, the idea of a midsize Jaguar saloon to steal sales from the BMW E39 5 Series and Lexus GS seemed like an increasingly good idea, and so a name used on a mid-1960s version of the Jaguar Mark 2 was revived for use on a car built on the same platform as the Lincoln LS. Both the new S-Type and LS appeared during the 1999 model year, and both are fairly easy to find in your local Ewe Pullet today. American S-Type buyers could choose between a 3.0-liter V6 and various flavors of V8 (including a hairy supercharged V8 good for 400 horses in the S-Type R). This car has the V6, which was based on the Duratec out of the Taurus and made 281 horsepower. In theory, American S-Type (and Lincoln LS) buyers could get a five-speed manual transmission on V6-equipped 1999-2003 cars … but I've never seen a three-pedal S-Type/LS, and I've been looking hard. As you'd expect, European S-Type buyers could get both manual transmissions and diesel engines for the duration of the car's 1999-2007 production run. This car has a ZF six-speed slushbox. The interior looks to have been in good condition when the car showed up here, and the original manuals were still in the car. Some of the wood trim got a bit cracked in the California sun during the car's two decades on the road. That sure looks a lot like a Kia Amanti nose, doesn't it? The Amanti appeared a few years later and showed strong S-Type (and E-Class) styling influence. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
