1980 Jaguar XJS 18k miles since restoration completed in 2002. Exact mileage of vehicle unknown.
Drivetrain 5.7L GM LT-1 V8, approximately 285bhp and 330 lb.-ft. torque 6-speed Tremec T56 Manual Trans Dana Independent Rear-End w/ ~3.31 gears
Exterior VW Silver Paint Arden 5-piece body kit 17"x8" ADR Wheels w/ Kumho Tires (tires have approximately 5k miles or 2-years of life left)
Interior Pioneer Sound System -4 Pioneer 6" speakers -3 Pioneer 10" subs -3 Yackamichi amps AutoMeter gauges Cloth racing seats (adjustable tilt and slide) w/ Sparco 3" Harnesses New carpet Custom center console
Miscellaneous Stainless Fuel Cell and Enclosed Fuel Pump Trunk-Mounted Battery
Condition Mechanically the car is very sound and dependable. The car has been on multiple long haul road trips from Louisville-Milwaukee-Dallas-Louisville, Louisville-Houston-Tampa-Louisville, and several more...all with no issues. I would suggest going through the brakes, steering and suspension components at some point in the near future if you are wanting to do any type of competitive driving with the vehicle. We used as many GM parts as possible during the engine conversion, including ECM, radiator and condenser, wiring harness, air pump, and more. We eliminated as much of the Jaguar components as possible that were known to create issues.
The exterior paint is in pretty good shape for being 12 years old. The car has no rust I know of. Paint is now 12 years old and has minor defects. Paint has minor chips, scratches, and scuffs; primarily on the front end. The trim pieces around the windshield and front grille could use a fresh coat of paint or touch up. Window weather stripping has begun to dry rot and break off, so if the car is going to be exposed to the elements I would suggest replacing those as well. The interior is in good condition with minor defects. The black cloth seats are showing minor wear and fade from entry/exit. Rear seats have been used maybe twice and are in great shape. Interior was originally tan, so new black carpet installed and door panels and other trim painted black. Auto Meter gauges are fully functional. A/C is ice cold. Overall, the car is a very fun car you can drive anywhere with confidence. It actually gets great gas mileage on the highway (1500rpm at 80mph). Everyone stares at it and asks what it is because they've never seen one. It doesn't look like an old Jag because of the body kit, and I have searched the internet high and low for another Arden body kit or XJS with one but have been unsuccessful. XJS' were only shipped to North America with automatic transmissions. This car was converted to manual using a factory Jaguar right-hand drive clutch assembly shipped from England. This car is by no means perfect, but it is mechanically sound, a blast to drive, and truly one of a kind. |

Watch the Jaguar F-Pace set a Guinness World Record for looping
Mon, Sep 14 2015On a chilly gray night in Germany, Jaguar officially leapt into the crossover segment. But it also reminded everyone its brand of grocery-getter will be anything but conventional. The 2017 F-Pace, which will launch next spring in the United States, debuted Monday evening at a glitzy event before the Frankfurt Motor Show. Rather than simply tear the cover off the car (you can watch that below), Jaguar sent a specially-prepped F-Pace blasting up a 63-foot-tall loop, setting a Guinness World Record in the process. Driven by British stunt driver Terry Grant, Jaguar said the F-Pace stood up against 6.5 Gs of gravity during the display. The stunt was meant to illustrate the F-Pace's poise, agility, and athletic nature. In fact, Jaguar is calling the vehicle the "ultimate practical sports car," instead of dwelling on the fact it's an SUV. Based on Jaguar's lightweight aluminum architecture, the F-Pace will arrive in America next year with two V6 engines rated at 340 horsepower or 380 hp. A new 2.0-liter diesel engine will join the lineup next fall, and serve as the entry-level model. It starts at $41,985. Related Video:
Jaguar's XFR-S Sportbrake looks to be one hot kinschlepper
Tue, 23 Jul 2013This is the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, which is too cool for North American sale (the Sportbrake, not the XFR-S sedan, which we're getting soon). Like the XFR-S four-door, it has a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 pumping out around 550 horsepower.
Our spy photographer's x-ray vision is saying that a ZF eight-speed automatic will be the gearbox of choice for the XFR-S wagon, which fits with the sedan, as well. The Sportbrake also has the usual high-performance touches, with huge air intakes in the front fascia, big wheels wrapped in low-profile tires, a dropped suspension and a rear end that's wearing a diffuser and a pair of meaty, quad exhausts. We're happy to see that the XFR-S Sedan's rear spoiler - or some iteration thereof - isn't here to mangle the Sportbrake's beautiful shape.
Where the this super-fast hauler will debut remains a question. There's virtually zero chance of it arriving at an American auto show (although we do endorse that, and any other decision that brings this wagon to our shores), which likely means it'll be in Europe. The Frankfurt Motor Show and Geneva Motor Show seem like the leading contenders, but we'll just have to wait and see.
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.
