1985 Jaguar XJ-6
82,000 miles!!
This Jaguar is a real sweetie. A base model, this car has 80,000 original miles and it shows. The seats look as good as a 10yr old car - with NO rips, holes or tears. The interior is classic Jaguar with wood-handled shifter, black switches on the center console for elec windows and SUNROOF, and a tan and black look that is just beautiful. The exterior is 96% GREAT with only one little bubble on the rear fender. The rest o the body is straight, un-dented, and un-rusted. The paint is also 100%, but is cracking under the clear coat. From no more than 10 feet - it looks like a nice paint job, but it definitely needs a redo. The wheels need polished badly, but are nice, unpitted and have all the center caps.
The engine - the Inline-6 - starts right up and runs well. Has new plugs and newer wires, new air cleaner ($40!) and has been treated well from last owner. Transmission shifts well with no delay or hesitation. I have had this car out 200 miles and have had no frets at all about doing so. The cruise control will work, but is a little fussy and for some reason wont set higher than 63ish (not sure why). I would not hesitate to drive anywhere with this car. Bout the only thing to say is that it isn't a rocket by any means, but it is very quiet, takes bumps like a champ and cruises well.
There are a few little things one could fix - the AC needs replaced (heater is very good), the trip computer is toast, and there is a weird jiggle noise under the rear speaker panel, but I cannot locate it. Most of the things that are wrong are minor and for a classic collector, would be an easy fix.
Why sell?? Well, HONESTLY, I am a muscle car buff and always have been, so the "Britishness" just isn't "me". I also am a bit too big for the seating - as I weigh more than most NFL linemen. For a Jaguar fan, this car is really nice and in need of a home.
$250 due upon winning auction. Final payment due within 10 days of auction end. I will be home for a look-over if you want one and I will be home most hours of the day if you need to transport the car a far distance. This car is being sold AS-IS with no warranty. I would not hesitate to drive anywhere, but it is an almost 30 year old car - so be realistic.

Good luck and God Bless!

Ian Callum, Brian Johnson and Lord March pick 10 top Jaguars
Thu, 11 Sep 2014An automaker with as rich a heritage as Jaguar is bound to create a few experts along the way... and some divergent opinions, too. So on the eve of the debut of the new XE, Jaguar brought together three experts to whittle down the long list of classic Leaping Cats to just ten.
For this gargantuan task, it brought in Ian Callum (who, as the company's chief designer, knows a thing or two about Jaguars), Lord Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox (the Earl of March and founder of the Goodwood Revival) and Brian Johnson - who may be better known as the frontman of AC/DC, but also a classic car enthusiast, collector and racer in his own right.
So what did the designer, the nobleman and the celebrity choose? The SS100, XK120 (namely number NUB 120), the C-Type that competed at the 1953 Mille Miglia, the D-Type that won at Reims, the Mk II sedan, the E-Type that served as the Geneva show car, the one and only XJ13, company founder Sir William Lyons' personal XJ6 S1, the TWR XJS touring car and the 1988 Le Mans-winning XJR-9.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
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.
