   She's powered by Chevy! But almost ALL of the original parts(except block) that were removed during conversion will be included with the sale. Paperwork and verification traces this vehicle to last known 71 XJ6 built by British Leyland and shown at the 1970 Chicago International Auto Show. After the show the vehicle was purchased by the Donaldson family of Stamford, Connecticut and has been with me since 1976.  
   The 350 hydro-matic with Edelbrock 4 barrel carb and chrome racing intake manifold plus center drop Corvette exhaust manifold means she really flies. Vehicle does not have air conditioning installed and if you wish to use it for long distance travel, I would recommend putting in an over-drive or changing the rear gearing. One of my former students talked his dad into selling it to my wife and I when the kids got their drivers licenses and "who was going to drive the Jag" almost tore the family apart. She needs a caring home and I need the garage space!
   Passport and ALL original manuals are going with you.

   One more thing - This car has another secret. It was driven by a young musician from Modesto, California who moved to Belmont, Vermont in 1978. As our friendship grew, Phil "Floatin" Houghton shared his past with my wife and me over lakeside chats, moonlit dinners and cruises in the Jag. Phil would say that "the only car I ever drove that had a better ride than my 71 XJ6 was a Rolls Royce Corniche convertible". He was right, but then he was right about a lot of things. Phil built "La Chateau Recording Studio, L.A.'s first 42 track facility, in 1976. Phil went on to record with such artists as Dan Hartman/Relight My Fire (Edgar Winter Group) but will always be known for being the first white rock musician to play with an all black group. You may have heard of them - They were called The Jackson Five!  That's right - Michael Jackson's lead guitarist drove our mid-night blue kitty. 

I really did not intend to pull a Banksy on Ebay.  Give her a good home.

Jaguar CEO says people just don't want EVs right now

Mon, Jun 22 2015

"Customers are not impressed with it currently." These are the words of one Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, spoke at the Automotive News Europe Congress in Birmingham, England. The "it" Speth is referring to is battery technology, which he characterized as "too heavy, too expensive," and with power density that's "too low." That all could go some way towards explaining why the British automaker has yet to bring an electric vehicle to market, why it killed the C-X75 hybrid-turbine supercar project, and why it only recently started offering hybrid versions of its Range Rover models (and has yet to offer them in the United States). That doesn't mean the company won't pursue electric propulsion in the future, though. According to Automotive News Europe, Speth forecasts that "the next generation of batteries will be higher density, lower weight and the cost will come down." What he didn't say, exactly, is when he expects that next generation of battery tech to come around – or when JLR will start to more closely embrace electric propulsion. In the meantime, Jaguar Land Rover will continue investing in research and development. Since Tata acquired the brands from Ford seven years ago, JLR has quadrupled its R&D budget and doubled the number of engineers on staff. Related Video:

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers

Fri, Jun 5 2015

California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.
