Professionally converted to a 350 Chevy V8 LT1 in 2012 - includes rebuilt engine, transmission, computer, car rewired, custom exhaust system, AC, new leather on front seats (back seats are perfect). Selling as I changed careers, will no longer work as a daily driver for my career as a Realtor (will trade for an equal value Chevy Tahoe) this car is beautiful! My mechanic who completed the conversion will answer any questions- I have all receipts - the engine has approximately 400 hp - the best part is since it's been rewired, this car comes without the electrical issues known to these cars. There are minor blemishes on the beautiful paint, and the convertible top (motor) is the only thing that is not working - it's a $1,000 repair -- I use the top manually. - buy with confidence - The engine and rebuild has 10,000 miles on it - while the car itself has 60,000 original miles on it. This was a $30,000 Professional conversion. If you are looking for your James Bond car - this is it! A real head-turner at a fraction of the cost - truly a classic that will bring lots of fun and enjoyment.
I will not accept any form of payment other than a wire transfer - NO EXCEPTIONS!
You may view the car near Conroe, Texas - make an appointment with me to see and drive it or it can be shipped to you.
I will consider a trade of a (equal value - EQUAL VALUE MEANS A $30,000 CHEVY TAHOE) Chevy Tahoe (nothing else will be considered)
DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR UNLESS YOU ARE SERIOUS AND YOU ARE A CASH BUYER - NO FINANCING, CASH ONLY
You may call me to ask questions - 832-419-4708 JON

Jay Leno's Garage drives Steve McQueen's 1956 Jaguar XKSS
Tue, 27 May 2014Steve McQueen might be the coolest American male of the 20th century. With movies like Bullitt and Le Mans, McQueen established himself as the king of cool of his era, and on the list of actors you would pick for a fantasy racing team - he or Paul Newman are the natural first choices. The latest Jay Leno's Garage video highlights one of McQueen's most special cars - a 1956 Jaguar XKSS.
Just 16 XKSS models were made because a fire at the Jaguar factory halted production. It was meant to be a street version of the company's very successful D-Type racer, with a modified version of its 3.4-liter straight-six-engine and a four-speed manual gearbox. McQueen clearly had an eye for great vehicles. He drove his Jag around Los Angeles years after it was a cutting-edge piece of technology. Since then, it became part of the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA. Autoblog's The List even took a ride in it when the show visited the museum.
The XKSS is one of the pinnacles of automotive design of the '50s, and its association with McQueen makes this example even more extraordinary. Leno is in love with the car from the moment he sees it, and it's hard to argue with him. Between its emphasized curves and raspy exhaust, this is one sexy Jag. Scroll down to get an eyeful and earful from one of McQueen's favorite cars.
Can a Jaguar XKR-S be drifted while blindfolded?
Thu, 27 Dec 2012Bring together a 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S and a rain-soaked skidpad, and it's almost impossible to not end up in a sideways drift... accidental or on purpose. With that in mind, the gang over at Autocar got a hold of the monstrous XKR-S for the latest installment of "Will it Drift?," only they raised the stakes a little by attempting the feat with a blindfolded driver
We've driven the XKR-S a number of times here at Autoblog (including a First Drive, Review and Quick Spin), so we weren't at all surprised to learn that blind drifting in the car is possible. But what is remarkable is the ease at which it happened. This, of course, can be credited as much to the car as to the driver, Steve Sutcliffe. Check out the impressive video for yourself, which is posted after the jump.
Is the Jaguar XFR-S really worth $17k more than the XFR? [w/poll]
Wed, 22 Jan 2014Adding performance to a car is rarely cheap - whether you're looking to do it yourself or rely on the factory to do it for you. In the case of the new Jaguar XFR-S, the cost differential over an already-impressive (and somewhat expensive) XFR is a stout $16,800. Auto Express recently got a hold of both cars to see whether that price pays off on the track.
For that price, Jaguar gives the XFR-S an extra 40 horsepower and 41 pound-feet of torque - for a total of 550 hp and 502 lb-ft - to go with a stiffer suspension, beefed-up differential and, of course, meaner styling. We don't want to ruin the results of the AE video, but right off the bat, the host says that you can feel the extra power of the XFR-S, but that it's not a "night-and-day difference."
Scroll down to see what happens when two high-powered Jags go head-to-head on a track. And then be sure to let us know whether or not you think the added money is worth it for the XFR-S in the completely informal poll below.
