More photos and videos of the car running are (Will take updated ones of the interior soon if requested, the seats cleaned up really nicely) at photobucket under quietlion79. Email me for the link. My number is 818.385.5796 if you want to text or talk.
I've owned this car for several years and it breaks my heart, but I have to sell it. It runs well and I think it could be a presentable drive with a little more work. These cars are known for their rust, but this one is very very solid having lived most of its life in the high desert. It has one small spot at the bottom of the passenger side fender. (I can take a picture) All the rest of the underside looks really clean. Original 3.8 motor. Clean title in my name.
The car is complete and I have bought a pair of tail lights for it that are in great shape as well as a driver mirror. The fuel pumps and carburetors have been professionally rebuilt, as well as the master brake cylinder. The fuel filter, ignition coil, cap, rotor, plugs and wires have all been replaced. I have a spare set of points and a condenser for it as well. Car starts up quickly and runs pretty smoothly. Car also shifts into gear well and seems to want to drive (doesn't stall out or struggle to run). All the glass is clear and un cracked. bench seat leather interior is in presentable shape overall. There are a few cracks on the top part of the back seat and some wear on the front one. Steering wheel is in nice shape with the original leather wrap. Most electrics work (Except for fuel gauge, but the tanks are out of the car), has a headlight out. Front two tires have been replaced, all hold air well (tubes are ok) and are uncracked (back to are the original style tires), there is a spare rim as well, but it will need a tube and tire. Suspension and steering seem like they are in good shape. If you like the car but want the body work done, i was thinking about taking it to a shop to have the work done, but I'd want a little more for the car after that was taken care of. IF you really like the car, email me and we can work something out.
In my opinion, to make it a good driver it needs:
Exhaust will need some attention
Transmission pan leaks a little (Have the gasket for it)
Valve covers leak slightly
Wood will need to be redone (have all the pieces, should you need patterns)
Weatherstripping for doors as well as front and rear windscreens need to be replaced
Rotors need to be turned
Gas tanks could be refurbished, but they might be ok as is
Minor damage on corner repaired, minor surface rust on roof taken care of and car primered.

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.
Jaguar readying SUV for Frankfurt debut
Thu, 01 Aug 2013In an effort to target higher-volume vehicle segments, Jaguar is getting ready to introduce its first-ever crossover, and Autoweek reports that we could see it debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. We've heard in the past that the new Jaguar crossover could carry the name XQ, but the report also mentions that the Q-type name is still in the running (now wouldn't Audi just love that?).
A little more clear than the crossover's name, AW says the cargo-friendly Jaguar should ride on the same platform as the upcoming Jaguar XS compact sedan rather than using a Land Rover platform. As for the on-sale date, it still sounds like the XS will hit the roads first in 2015 with the crossover model due out in 2016.
50th Anniversary Porsche 911 vs. Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a battle of beauty, brawn
Fri, 13 Jun 2014There can't really be a loser between the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R and the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. One might be better than the other, but if you're behind the wheel of either of them, you can't complain. In a new video, Motor Trend takes on the difficult task of determining which one of these European powerhouses is the best, not just in terms of raw performance, but also how they actually feel to drive.
The Porsche 911 is one of the perennial favorites of the motoring world. It just doesn't go away and always seems capable of challenging the top vehicles in its class. In this video, Motor Trend takes a look at the 50th Anniversary Edition model that celebrates that heritage while boosting power somewhat over the standard version.
The F-Type Coupe is an incredibly masculine car, MT describing it as "a British Corvette." The coupe's exterior lines are tautly stretched over its athletic body, and it's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 sounds like a demon's growl. Jaguar seems to have things right with its latest sports car.
