You are viewing a 1973 Jaguar XJ6. This vehicle is a barn find and was in dry storage from 1993-2012. It is American muscle combined with classic British looks, as last year using a kit, it had a professionally installed Chevy 350 V8 motor and automatic 350 Turbo transmission from an early 1980's Camaro, both of which run and shift smoothly. The mechanic also installed a custom dual exhaust to go along with the 350 manifold and carburetor setup. The car has power steering and windows, as well as disc brakes on all for wheels! It also comes with the original AM radio that still works. The car currently has just under 27,000 miles on it and comes with the ID tag from the first owner!! The British Racing Green paint and chrome are both in very good condition considering the age of this vehicle, with little pitting in the chrome in specific areas. It has a few nicks and small dents, but nothing sticks out or catches the eye. The body is very straight with no big dents. It currently is not a show car or trailer queen, but still looks great, especially when the paint and chrome catch the sun! The interior is original and has tan leather seats. The body and underneath are both in very solid condition, especially for a Jaguar of this time period!! This is a great looking car that has been a blast to own and drive, the 350 motor really has some get up and go!!! Right now it is a reliable car to go run errands or to use to take my wife to dinner. With a little work it could be a daily driver and with a full restoration, it could easily be show car quality. Again, right now the car looks great and it runs as it should, but is not new or mint quality as it is 40 years old. There are some extra trim pieces in the trunk along with the spare and some tools, the electric is about 1/3 completed.The car is currently sitting in my garage and can book anywhere from $8,4000 to $13,000, the price is low because I really need it to sell quickly. I am selling because I am moving and do not have the room to tow. The vehicle is for sale locally as well, so I reserve the right to cancel this auction at anytime. Thank you for looking and have a great day! Please ask any questions through eBay, or call/text Ben at 918-884-8917 with any questions, but please no calls after 10 PM central time, thank you!!!

Jaguar designs Tour de France racing bike [w/video]
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Jaguar is known for designing luxury sedans, and it's known for designing GTs. But once in a while it dabbles in a new area of transportation design. It's working on its first crossover at the moment, and even did a speedboat concept a couple of years ago. Now it's turned its attention to bicycles.
While many automakers have designed bikes in the past, Jaguar's project has a bit more of a direct correlation. It's been working with Team Sky - the outfit that has won the Tour de France two years running now - since 2010, furnishing the team with support vehicles for bicycle races around the world. But now it's stepping its collaboration up a notch by redesigning the team's bike.
Working with frame manufacturer Pinarello, Jaguar took the existing Dogma 65.1 racing bike design back to the drawing board. Jaguar's designers and engineers reshaped the frame tubes, seat post, front fork, derailleur and all the components attached to the frame, each part streamlined for aerodynamic efficiency. They ran it through Jaguar's Computational Fluid Dynamics processor 300 times then verified the results in the wind tunnel.
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.
Can a Jaguar XKR-S be drifted while blindfolded?
Thu, 27 Dec 2012Bring together a 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S and a rain-soaked skidpad, and it's almost impossible to not end up in a sideways drift... accidental or on purpose. With that in mind, the gang over at Autocar got a hold of the monstrous XKR-S for the latest installment of "Will it Drift?," only they raised the stakes a little by attempting the feat with a blindfolded driver
We've driven the XKR-S a number of times here at Autoblog (including a First Drive, Review and Quick Spin), so we weren't at all surprised to learn that blind drifting in the car is possible. But what is remarkable is the ease at which it happened. This, of course, can be credited as much to the car as to the driver, Steve Sutcliffe. Check out the impressive video for yourself, which is posted after the jump.
