Professionally converted to a 350 Chevy V8 LT1 in 2012 - includes rebuilt engine, transmission, computer, car rewired, custom exhaust system, AC, new leather on front seats (back seats are perfect). Selling as I changed careers, will no longer work as a daily driver for my career as a Realtor (will trade for an equal value Chevy Tahoe) this car is beautiful! My mechanic who completed the conversion will answer any questions- I have all receipts - the engine has approximately 400 hp - the best part is since it's been rewired, this car comes without the electrical issues known to these cars. There are minor blemishes on the beautiful paint, and the convertible top (motor) is the only thing that is not working - it's a $1,000 repair -- I use the top manually. - buy with confidence - The engine and rebuild has 10,000 miles on it - while the car itself has 60,000 original miles on it. This was a $30,000 Professional conversion. If you are looking for your James Bond car - this is it! A real head-turner at a fraction of the cost - truly a classic that will bring lots of fun and enjoyment.
I will not accept any form of payment other than a wire transfer - NO EXCEPTIONS!
You may view the car near Conroe, Texas - make an appointment with me to see and drive it or it can be shipped to you.
I will consider a trade of a (equal value - EQUAL VALUE MEANS A $30,000 CHEVY TAHOE) Chevy Tahoe (nothing else will be considered)
DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR UNLESS YOU ARE SERIOUS AND YOU ARE A CASH BUYER - NO FINANCING, CASH ONLY
You may call me to ask questions - 832-419-4708 JON

40th Jaguar E-Type ever made sells at auction for lb88k
Wed, 30 Oct 2013The 40th Jaguar E-Type ever built, a right-hand-drive 1961 model, hit the auction block and was bought by an anonymous British buyer for 88,000 pounds ($141,310), ITV reports. The Jaguar had been stored at the previous owner's estate, in dry storage, at a derelict farm in Le Mans, France since July 1974.
E-Type chassis No. 860040 was bought by the previous owner in 1969 and was originally gray. But it was driven home to France and painted it in its current aubergine in 1974, before it was put into storage. During that time it was considered missing by experts, but there it sat under a dust sheet car cover for most of its life, so the body is in good condition. The family mechanic said that the car was last started about five years ago, and the engine recently was turned over. Coys auction house describes the original interior, which is also preserved well, as a "time warp."
Chris Routledge of Coys before the auction said, "They're sort of a mythical beast for enthusiast, at the time they were all handmade on special order, so Jaguar collectors look at the first 100 cars in a different way," BBC News reports. He added, "We estimate it to be worth between 20,000 and 40,000 pounds (about $32,100 to $64,200) but our feedback from collectors and interest worldwide suggests it could sell for between 80,000 and 100,000 pounds (about $128,500 to $160,600)." Of course, his revised estimate was right on target.
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.
Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
