This is an inexpensive way to have a fun car.  I bought it in 2010 for just that reason. 

The exterior looks decent, not perfect (shiney on the sides, a little dull on the top surfaces), but very little rust.  The car originally came from Palm Springs, CA.  and has only been driven in the summer and stored in the winter since living in Michigan.

The leather interior is in good condition.  The front seats are clean and free of tears, the rear is coming unstiched, but the leather is in good condition.  The side trim looks good.  The dash pad is cracked in two places but still looks ok.  The wood trim on the dash is covered with a carbon fiber-look overlay.  The carpet is out of the car so you can see the floor but is still in good condition.  the headliner is in good condition as is the glass in the car.

The wheels are Weld Stars, from the 1990's, very unique.  Good rubber.  The original brakes stop the car fine. The original suspension is in good working order.                       

The Chevy 305 with tuned port injection came from a 1985 Camaro IROC and was installed using a kit from John's Cars, Dallas, TX.  I have no idea how many miles it has on it.  It puffs a little oil on start up so it probablly needs valve stem seals but still runs strong and sounds good.  The GM 700R4 trans shifts smooth through the original Jag shifter and makes this car an economical highway cruiser. 

The exhaust flows through stock mufflers minus the rear resonators which have been replaced with some 3" stainless tips.  Much better than the 1 3/4" stock exhaust, really sounds sweet.

The radiator is cooled by electric fan which is currently hard-wired "on".       Just needs a new thermal switch.

The car has A/C but needs a new compressor, clutch, and receiver drier to operate again.

If you are looking for something you can drive right now as you fix the little stuff, this is an awesome deal for the money.

 

This is a used car with no warranties or guarantees implied.  You should come look before you bid to be sure the car is what you expect.  I wouldn't hesitate to drive the car anywhere.

Jaguar Land Rover may build factory in Saudi Arabia

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial cost of $1.2 billion. Still in the early stage of talks, the proposed facility could start up by 2017 using locally sourced materials such as steel and aluminum.
Such an arrangement could be beneficial for both entities as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its oil-reliant economy and Land Rover could get local production capacity of around 50,000 units. The report also says that the agreement talks about the possibility for Jaguar models to be built at the same plant further down the road.
This won't be the first vehicle produced in Saudi Arabia - that honor goes to the KSU Gazal-1 - but it will be the first from a major global automaker.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

Recharge Wrap-up: Jaguar's aluminum recycling, lithium demand rises

Sun, May 1 2016

Jaguar Land Rover has recycled over 50 metric tons of aluminum over the past year. As Jaguar celebrates a year of sales of the XE – which makes use of recycled aluminum – its closed loop recycling program has prevented some 500,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions. The XE is the first car in Jaguar's REALCAR (short for REcycled ALuminium CAR) program, and the company says it has recycled an amount equal to almost 200,000 XE body shells. "Its success so far marks a significant step towards our goal of having up to 75 percent recycled aluminium content in our vehicle body structures by 2020," says Group Engineering Director Nick Rogers. Check out the video above, and read more from Jaguar. Electric vehicle manufacturers are putting a strain on lithium supplies. Since the metal is used in the batteries of most electric vehicles, demand is expected to grow by 8.8 percent a year through 2019. While Tesla has deals with natural resource companies Pure Energy Minerals and Bacanora Minerals, they won't be able to keep up with the automaker's goal of 500,000 EVs by 2020. Tesla, BYD, and other EV manufacturers are going to be competing for these resources, and new lithium firms will enter the market to compete for automakers' business. Read more in the press release or the blog post from Market Research. Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) has announced a new funding opportunity for building public EV charging infrastructure. DEEP is accepting applications from private entities for awards of up to $10,000 for installing a public dual-head charger or two single-head chargers, for up to 17 new charging stations. It prefers proposals for underserved areas with major traffic, such as downtowns. Connecticut has a goal of putting 3.3 million EVs on the road by 2025. Read more in the notice from DEEP, or visit DEEP's website. Car clubs are responsible for the removal of about 25,000 cars from London roads. According to a new survey, every club car removes 10 private cars, as club members sell their own vehicles. The survey of 4,000 Londoners also shows that carsharing members drive an average of 750 fewer miles every year after joining. London is currently home to 186,000 car club members using 2,800 cars, while the UK's 220,000 club members use over 3,800 club cars. Also, many car clubs offer access to electric vehicles, which helps to further reduce emissions.
