1973 Vintage Jaguar - Garage Kept on 2040-cars
Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States
|
Posting this Vintage 1973 Jaguar for my dad. As might have seen in other
craigslist posts, my dad has been selling off his collection of
vintage/classic vehicles. My dad has no room to continue in storing or
paying insurance on his vehicles therefore he is now selling off the
majority of his vehicles.
This Jaguar is road ready. Vehicle drives VERY well despite its age. The original engine was replaced with an American made 350 V8 engine. When the swap of engine took place, the gas tank was not reconnected because the tank had not been drained. The vehicle sat in garage for many years and the gas in the tank went bad so my dad decided to install a tank in the trunk to avoid using the bad gas in the original tank. Don't ask me why he did that but that is what he stated to me. The gas gauge does function and mark correctly. The interior is remarkable and well taken care of as you can see in the pictures. One modification made, which can easily be switched back to its original form, is the front door panels are not original. Instead, they were replaced with wood panels which are not original. All gauge in the instrument panel are working except the clock and oil gauge which need to be plugged in. This occurred when the engine was swapped and not reconnected before reinstalling the dash. The Jaguar has the original AM/FM radio and original speakers. The seals around the front and back windows are cracked because the seals around the windows have never been switched out. Although the car has its flaws, this car needs very little work. Please feel free to look at the vehicle. |

Watch this bad parker get what's coming to him
Fri, 02 Aug 2013If you're lucky enough to have a nice vehicle, do your fellow gearheads a favor and don't park like a clown. Seriously. Not only will you anger everyone who is trying to find a place to park, but your nice car is a billboard reinforcing the stereotype that car people are self-important and inconsiderate.
Take this gentleman for example. He has a Jaguar XK, and understandably wants to take care of it. Rather than parking it far, far away from any other cars and getting a bit of exercise by walking to his building, he takes up two spots (albeit barely) close to the structure. From the cameraman's narration, we can tell his coworkers are less than thrilled about his inability to stay between the lines.
Naturally, they wanted to teach him a lesson, so they parked a bigger vehicle as close to his driver's door as possible. Mr. XK's attempts to enter his vehicle are rather amusing, culminating in his climbing through the passenger side and scooching over to the driver's seat. While we can debate this sort of treatment all day long, it was effective. The video includes a follow up at the end showing where the XK driver parked the next day, and as you might guess, it wasn't in the same spot.
This mule is the first evidence Jaguar is working on a 3 Series fighter
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Rumors of an entry-level, BMW 3 Series-fighting Jaguar sedan have been floating around for quite some time, but thanks to our intrepid spy photographers, we now have visible proof that such a model is, in fact, in the works.
Despite this tester's XF fittings, it's clear that what lies beneath is an entirely different beast. The doors have been shortened, roofline adjusted, rear deck lopped off and exhaust replaced, giving us a better idea of the new sedan's smaller dimensions and details. The new Jag, which may be dubbed "XS," is expected to ride on Jaguar's PLA (Premium Lightweight Architecture) platform, touting weight-saving materials that should do a lot to keep overall heft to a minimum. Both turbocharged four- and supercharged six-cylinder powertrains are expected to be on tap.
Codenamed X760, the new small sedan will reportedly hit the market in 2015. Earlier reports have indicated that a new crossover - Jag's first ever - riding on the same platform will arrive shortly thereafter, so that suggests that the platform will be fitted with all-wheel drive as well.
Jaguar F-Type 'Design Study' headed to Goodwood
Mon, 08 Jul 2013With the Goodwood Festival of Speed taking place this weekend, Jaguar has announced it will be there with its new trio of R models as well as a design study version of the hot new F-Type sports car. While we've already seen the XFR-S last year at the LA Auto Show and the XJR and XKR-S GT at the New York Auto Show, the F-Type design study has our attention.
Based on our recent sighting of a fixed-roof F-Type being tested in full camouflage, this could mean that we'll finally get to see a sexy F-Type Coupe in near-production form. Of course, with all of the other R branded models on display, Jaguar could also unveil a sporty new R - or maybe even an RS - F-Type roadster. Whatever is planned, it will not be a static display - Jaguar says the design study car will be in action, making the fabled run up Goodwood Hill with chief engineer Mike Cross at the wheel. Scroll down for more information about what Jaguar has planned for Goodwood.
