1966 Jaguar Xke Convertible W/ Covered Headlights on 2040-cars
Pewaukee, Wisconsin, United States
|
I bought the jag from the original family about 3 years ago. The owner has completely restored this car over the last several years. the goal was to replace the original engine with a fast, cool running and dependable V-8 and matching automatic transmission. As a result of the modification the millage is not actual,the odometer reads 39873. the car was completely disassembled and rebuilt. the paint was stripped and painted with a British racing green. The original chrome was re-chromed as necessary.A completely rebuilt Lincoln V-8, modified with chrome headers and Holly carburetor and high performance automatic transmission. New custom exhaust system and new bushings,shocks modified for the handling of new engine. The rear was completely rebuilt. New radiator and fan. The result was a very fast classic. The interior was fitted with new tan leather, carpet, and door panels, new canvas top was installed,new trunk kit. Original wire wheels w/new cooper tires and original spare. Also new rubber and felt. Original screen with tiny stone chip on upper right corner. A couple of small paint chips on the lower section where the hood line up with the body. This is a rust free car and always has been. The car stored in my heated garage.
As is.Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty. Please ask questions to get better idea about the car. Better yet come and inspect the car yourself. In fact, i prefer the inspection of the car for better understanding. |

Stolen Jaguar E-Type reunited with owner after 46 years
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Barely six months into owning it, Ivan Schneider had his Jaguar E-Type stolen from outside of his Manhattan apartment in 1968. Now, 46 years later, the somewhat beat-up convertible has been recovered just before it was about to be shipped to a new owner in The Netherlands.
US Customs agents at the Port of Los Angeles found the car during a routine check, and they contacted Schneider to arrange returning it to him. When the feds found it, the E-Type was already in a shipping container ready to go to its new owner. The condition is hardly perfect today, including rough paint and a replacement door, but Schneider is ecstatic to get his classic back.
Understandably, the now 82-year-old never thought he would see his droptop Jaguar again. Schneider told the LA Times that he bought the E-Type for $5,000 after winning a case as a lawyer, and it was originally painted gray. Now, he plans to have to have the vintage convertible restored to its former glory in New York.
Jaguar to expand Jaguar XKR-S GT production run?
Wed, 10 Apr 2013According to a report in Autocar, demand for the Jaguar XKR-S GT is such that the English company could nearly double production from 30 to 50 cars. Such inflation can often incense those have already put deposits down, worried that they've both been lied to about the potentially diminished values of their cars, but Jaguar has made the announcement barely a day after the XKR-S GT was revealed and 50 still isn't that many vehicles.
Nothing in the Autocar report indicates the additional examples will not come to America, making the 500-horsepower superfast coupe a treat we can still call all our own. Jaguar didn't add horsepower but instead honed other aspects of the car to produce a GT that can lap the 'Ring nearly as quickly as a Ferrari 458 Italia, and the world should be the beneficiary, the company's brand director saying, "The real beauty of this project has been that it has extended our understanding of the elements involved in making a car go so fast, and that will feed back into all our road car programs." Sounds good to us.
First Ride: 2014 Jaguar F-Type [w/video]
Fri, 08 Feb 2013Shotgun In Coventry's First Sports Car In Decades
For every car, there is a passionate group of fans who love it, and the F-Type already has a few million rabid followers. These are fabulous things, sports cars, and we're very happy that Jaguar is making one again. Finally. (Before you start relishing the prospect of correcting us, the XK is really a grand tourer, not a sports car.)
The main question, however, will be whether someone in a position to buy a lifestyle-enhancing yet impractical F-Type will do so in the face of more established competitors from Porsche, Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW. The last time Jaguar built a true two-seater sports car (1974 E-Type; the last of the XJ220 limited run in 1994 doesn't count in this league), most of today's new buyers were too young or may not yet have been born. At any rate, the F-Type has a lot of work to do for the brand beyond just selling itself.
