1987 Jaguar Xj6, Great Candidate For V8 Conversion, Mild Restoration, Or Parts on 2040-cars
Saint Joseph, Michigan, United States
|
I purchased this car last year to use as a daily driver (pd $4200 & invested in new: Good Year tires, headliner, starter and more. Car ran great including one big interstate trip (3 hrs), then one day coming home the head gasket blew. I had heard this was a common outcome as the car approached 100K miles. I have decided not to keep the car as I don't have time to put into it. (The head gasket has not been repaired). It has been starting up with no issue. Car is sold as is…. The car has aprox. 100k miles & has been starting up fine despite the bad gasket, the car is complete with the exception that someone stole the rear trunk emblems (jaguar & xj6) off which were held on with an adhesive to the car. The A/C & Heat were working when I was driving it, the car is stock, (Air pump, emissions etc in place). It was passing Wi inspection up to 2 yrs ago. I bought it via a dealer (took it on a trade from what appears to be the original owner), who also had it serviced by the dealer. Title (my name), excellent tan interior & dash, straight body, decent paint BUT some rust where pans meet trans tunnel & where they meet the jack point, pans appear otherwise solid it’s just the welds that have decayed. This car could make someone a great V8 conversion or simply repair the headgasket and keep it stock. If I was going to swap to a Chevy 350 I would repair the floor pan welds while the engine and trans were out. Otherwise the floor carpet could be removed and the pans tacked back to the tunnel and jack points. Paint is in fair condition, but some general tidying can keep the car looking fine as is. The interior and dash will impress anyone as they are in great shape. (Tan leather being quite desirable). If someone wants a the car for a V8 conversion I may be willing to pull the motor and trans keep them for a modest reduction in price. Car is priced very low for quick sale, payment is due at end of auction, please don’t bid if you are not sure you want the car & feel free to ask me questions. Shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer, but I am happy to work with your shipper to get it loaded or deliver it within an hour of southwest michigan. VIN: SAJAV1345HC465363 |

Jaguar testing facelifted XJ in UK
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Europe's flagship luxury sedans don't go through their lifecycles quite as quickly as other models need to, but with the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class hitting the road, Jaguar must feel it's time for a little update for its XJ sedan. And as these spy shots demonstrate, that's just what it has in store.
Falling firmly in the subtle-facelift category (as opposed to the full refresh), the placement of the camouflage on this new XJ appears to be hiding new fascias front and rear. Reshaped bumpers, trunk lid, grille and air apertures seem to be part of the impending facelift, but for better or worse, those black rear pillars seem to be staying put.
While Jaguar's at it, we can expect some updates to the cabin as well, with upgraded infotainment, ambient lighting and such. But don't go expecting anything radical at this stage. The XJ has been on the market for about four years, and it'll be another few before it demands a complete overhaul.
Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl ad to feature F-Type Coupe
Sun, 10 Nov 2013Patrons of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will be able to get their first glimpse at the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe, but the new hardtop sports car will be shown off to an even greater audience in early February. No, we aren't talking about the Chicago Auto Show - we're referring to the Super Bowl. Jaguar will debut its first-ever Super Bowl ad during the second half of the big game on February 2, 2014, and the sleek new F-Type Coupe will be the star.
According to Jaguar, the ad campaign will pose the question, "Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies, all the villains are played by Brits?" And for all you social media mavens out there, Jaguar will launch a specific hashtag to go with this marketing: #GoodToBeBad.
British director Tom Hooper is responsible for the ad, which is being filmed in London. Americans will get their first glimpse at the campaign this weekend in the first spot, called Disruptor, but the big F-Type Coupe spot will not air until Super Bowl XLVIII in February.
2016 Jaguar F-Type ups warranty, adds standard equipment
Mon, Mar 23 2015The 2016 Jaguar F-Type is getting all-wheel-drive and an optional six-speed manual gearbox. That, of course, has been the big news surrounding the British brand's stylish two-seat coupe and cabrio since it was announced back in November. For 2016, though, Jag has done a lot more than just update the F-Type's powertrain – it's made life easier for the car's future owners. Jaguar has generously upped the complimentary service period for the 2016 F-Type, going from covering the first service only, to handing out five years or 60,000 miles of free maintenance to owners of the 2016 F-Type. That is, frankly, stupendous. That new plan is paired with an extended warranty, which has been expanded from five years or 50,000 miles to match the new complimentary service period. Coventry has also significantly added to the list of standard equipment for 2016, offering a 770-watt Meridian stereo, SiriusXM satellite radio, a SmartKey, 14-way power seats and on the hardtop models, a glass roof. Again, that's all standard equipment now. S models now get the standard dynamic mode, flat-bottomed wheel and active exhaust system. R models, as we said back in November, get all-wheel drive as standard. Most remarkable about all of this, though, is how little the new standard equipment has impacted the F-Type's price. The manual-trans Coupe matches last year's $65,000 starting price, while adding an eight-speed automatic kicks the price up $1,300. The S Coupe is slightly pricier than last year's $77,000 mid-grade model, starting at $77,300 for the manual and $78,800 for the automatic. The all-wheel-drive S Coupe starts at $84,800. The R, which as we said, enjoys standard all-wheel-drive, is getting the biggest price bump, with the Coupe model going from $99,000 to $103,600. The all-new Jaguar F-Type R Convertible starts at $106,450. Beyond that, if you want an F-Type with a canvas roof, add $3,100 to the prices shown above. So there we have it – a longer warranty, five years of free maintenance more standard equipment and a negligible increase in price. Um, why can't all model year updates be so nice?
