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 wants to make real-life driving just like a video game
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Jaguar Land Rover is on a bit of a tech bent today. It's announced its new family of four-cylinder engines and a "self-learning" vehicle Range Rover prototype, and now it's announced what it calls the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen.
The technology is similar to other head-up displays and telematics recorders already on the market, the Jaguar Virtual Windscreen concept takes things to the next level to turn real-life driving into a video game-like experience. It's being demonstrated with data like lap times, grid positions, virtual racing line and brake guidance... even "ghost" cars from previous laps and virtual cones for simulated autocrossing. Just like you'd find in the latest version of Forza or Gran Turismo, but you know... in an actual car - in this case a Jaguar F-Type. It's similar to the Transparent Bonnet system Land Rover revealed a couple of months ago, but instead of rock-crawling, it's for the race track.
The system also incorporates gesture controls and could be configured to display instrument data, a video feed from a rear-view camera to replace the mirror. Check out the details and the video below for a closer look at what JLR has got in store for the near future.
2014 Jaguar XJR
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Jaguar In Its Purest Form
Jaguar has spent a lot of time, money and engineering effort refocusing itself for the modern world. In 2006, the current XK replaced the former XK8 and introduced a new aluminum-intensive chassis architecture to Jaguar's portfolio, and two years later, the XF whipped up a similar overhaul to its classical styling department.
The next major revision came in 2009, with the introduction of the achingly attractive and completely new XJ sedan, and this step struck us as the biggest improvement yet; not only was Jaguar's flagship built atop a cutting-edge platform, it boasted a newfound sense of style that pointed toward the future while still echoing the brand's storied past. This trend has continued most recently with the two-door F-Type that we've already grown quite fond of.
Jaguar testing facelifted XJ in UK
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Europe's flagship luxury sedans don't go through their lifecycles quite as quickly as other models need to, but with the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class hitting the road, Jaguar must feel it's time for a little update for its XJ sedan. And as these spy shots demonstrate, that's just what it has in store.
Falling firmly in the subtle-facelift category (as opposed to the full refresh), the placement of the camouflage on this new XJ appears to be hiding new fascias front and rear. Reshaped bumpers, trunk lid, grille and air apertures seem to be part of the impending facelift, but for better or worse, those black rear pillars seem to be staying put.
While Jaguar's at it, we can expect some updates to the cabin as well, with upgraded infotainment, ambient lighting and such. But don't go expecting anything radical at this stage. The XJ has been on the market for about four years, and it'll be another few before it demands a complete overhaul.
