1986 Jaguar Xjs With Reliable Gm 350 V8 Fuel Injected Conversion on 2040-cars
Portland, Maine, United States
|
This is a truly rare eye turner that gets about 4 blown away comments a day here in Maine. It is my daily driver and super reliable. It is inspected in Maine until September and will take another no problem. None and imean none of the old Jaguar fuel line, engine, and electrical problems!!! parts are so cheap now, and i just did the most difficult maintenance on the car by putting all new inbound brakes on rear of the car! This car has a GM TBI fuel injected 350 in it with custom brackets and has vortec headers.the engine was rebuilt 50,000 miles ago and has a fresh oil change.The 400 gm transmission which is standard in these jags was rebuilt 8,000 miles ago. This car is super smooth and solid. The v8 is so much lighter then the v12 that the front end raised 2 inches so custom brackets where put in the rear to raise it two inches. car is super tight, and handles better then the other jags on the road!
There is virtually no rust on this car it has always been garaged and the car has always had an underlining on it. it is finally stating to peal off so you can see the original red paint under the car!! no rust on an 86 jag! you can see in the pics the car is straight, no dents or issues, id give the exterior a 8.5 and the interior an 8. The car also has a new pioneer deck,with 4 dual 3way speakers. 51/4 front and 6x9 rear! car is pickup only, although id might deliver for a good price which would include gas.. obviously. all electronics are working in the car,and the car also has a very rare Aston Martin sunroof that does not even slightly leak. No leaks, tight steering and suspension. A true luxury car. I have never seen something so pretty sound so mad at the world. Thank you for looking and feel free to ask questions, i don't need a car for a while, i work in the building i live in. |

Autocar compares new Maserati Quattroporte to Jaguar XJ
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe took the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte on a spin along snowy mountain roads to test it for a specific brief: as a limousine for the chauffeured class. It's sporting credentials are impressive: Twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8, 532 horsepower, 475 pound-feet of torque in casual circumstances that rises to 532 lb-ft in overboost, a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour sprint of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph.
However, citing Maserati's desire to not just increase its sales to 50,000-per-annum by 2015, but to sell many more of its cars in China, Sutcliffe wanted to find out if the livery side of the Quattroporte could match its sport sedan side. So after taking the pilot's seat and trying out the sport settings, Sutcliffe hops in back to test out the CEO's seat.
Then he compares the Quattroporte against the long-wheelbase Jaguar XJ with its supercharged V8, a sedan that's 15,000 pounds less expensive than the Maserati. It doesn't take long for him to find that one of them is a clear winner when it comes to transporting VIPs. To find out which one, enjoy the video below.
Jaguar XK to cease production this summer
Mon, 10 Mar 2014With the introduction of the F-Type coupe and convertible, Jaguar has cleared room in its sports car lineup to drop the XK for new models. "There will be a 2015 model year XK, but the rumors are true, production for the XK will end later this year after eight years," said Wayne York Kung, Jaguar USA National Product Communications Manager, in an email to Autoblog. A replacement for the GT might be a very long way off.
The automaker told Auto Express that it's part of a "wider strategic vision and product planning cycle." Ending assembly will allow the feline luxury brand to build better-selling vehicles like the XE, its upcoming BMW 3 Series fighter. The new sedan is scheduled to go on sale in Europe in 2015 and in the US in 2016. It also needs to make room for the C-X17 crossover to be built, which is likely expected to sell better than a 2+2 GT car.
"There are no immediate plans to replace the XK," said Kung in his email. Jag was rumored to be considering moving a future generation of it upmarket. The new model would have been a bigger, softer grand tourer and allow the F-Type to be the brand's more hardcore sports car.
Stolen Jaguar E-Type reunited with owner after 46 years
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Barely six months into owning it, Ivan Schneider had his Jaguar E-Type stolen from outside of his Manhattan apartment in 1968. Now, 46 years later, the somewhat beat-up convertible has been recovered just before it was about to be shipped to a new owner in The Netherlands.
US Customs agents at the Port of Los Angeles found the car during a routine check, and they contacted Schneider to arrange returning it to him. When the feds found it, the E-Type was already in a shipping container ready to go to its new owner. The condition is hardly perfect today, including rough paint and a replacement door, but Schneider is ecstatic to get his classic back.
Understandably, the now 82-year-old never thought he would see his droptop Jaguar again. Schneider told the LA Times that he bought the E-Type for $5,000 after winning a case as a lawyer, and it was originally painted gray. Now, he plans to have to have the vintage convertible restored to its former glory in New York.
