Beautiful Xk8 V8 Convertible White Exterior / Tan Interior, Runs And Looks Great on 2040-cars
Newport Beach, California, United States
XK8 Convertible in terrific shape. Snow White exterior with Tan interior. Car has a newly rebuilt engine, new tires, new brakes, new shocks....Car drives and looks terrific. Comes with a leather top cover, all books, and 2 extra keys.
Car was running great but developed oil leaks that were going to cost $1000's to repair. Instead, recently (7-22-2014) paid $5000 to AAA Engine to install a rebuilt long block engine (same year) that, of course, replaced all seals and gaskets, engine and heads cleaned, surfaces renewed by milling, block bored and honed, new connecting rods, pistons, rings, main bearings, wrist pin bushings, timing chains, guides, thrust bearings, rear main seal, frost plugs, oil pump, crank shaft ground and polished...with everything pressure tested and thicknesses checked. Replaced all hoses that weren't already recently replaced. So the engine is as good as new - and it comes with an unlimited mileage 2 year warranty from the manufacturer with 6 months on labor. Transmission and suspension inspected by Arroyo Auto Works (Pasadena) and advised they are in great condition. Interior and Exterior in excellent shape, which you can see from the pictures. A/C blows cold, 6 disc CD/stereo and all dash controls work great. Rear seats in mint original condition. New mats. Thank you for looking at my car! |

Hot Rod Garage series premieres with 700-hp big-block Jaguar XJ
Fri, 23 May 2014Roadkill hosts Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger have broken up - kinda - to spin off a new show, Hot Rod Garage, that mostly gives up the driveway and parking lot wrench work for the confines of a garage. We say kinda because while Finnegan is the primary host for Hot Rod Garage, Freiburger plays guest host and the new show starts off by wrenching on the Roadkill Draguar project car.
What's the Draguar? It's a 1974 Jaguar XJ12 that's about to be force-fed a 383-cubic-inch Chevrolet long-block engine with tidbits like Holley carbs, a Weiand 6-71 roots blower and a "custom WillBlow transmission," all good for about 700 horsepower. After that Finnegan gets into swapping parts on his wife's El Camino and some TIG welding lessons.
You can check out the first episode below. And in case you're worried, no, Roadkill isn't going away.
Never-was Jaguar C-X75 hybrid supercar driven by Autocar
Mon, 24 Jun 2013There's lucky, and then there's "I got to drive the Jaguar C-X75." The crew from Autocar is among the handful of souls who can honestly make the latter statement. Jaguar invited the publication down for a little time in both the passenger and driver seats around the automaker's proving grounds. While there's no end to the jealousy oozing from our pores, the good news is that there were a few cameras on hand to capture the experience. As you may recollect, the C-X75 Concept was a unique hybrid supercar concept built to duke it out with the likes of the Ferrari LaFerrari, Porsche 918 and the McLaren P1. The British automaker put it on track for production, but unfortunately stopped the project about six months ago.
With a twincharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine capable of revving to 10,000 rpm, the C-X75 concept yields 502 horsepower and gets partnered with four electric motors - one at each wheels. A 19kWh lithium-ion battery pack serves up 300kW of power, and combined, the motors and battery are capable of yielding an additional 194 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Combined, the driveline is good for more than 850 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. Said another way, the C-X75 will do the 0-60 miles per hour dance in under three seconds.
And Autocar got to drive it. You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.
Is the Jaguar XFR-S really worth $17k more than the XFR? [w/poll]
Wed, 22 Jan 2014Adding performance to a car is rarely cheap - whether you're looking to do it yourself or rely on the factory to do it for you. In the case of the new Jaguar XFR-S, the cost differential over an already-impressive (and somewhat expensive) XFR is a stout $16,800. Auto Express recently got a hold of both cars to see whether that price pays off on the track.
For that price, Jaguar gives the XFR-S an extra 40 horsepower and 41 pound-feet of torque - for a total of 550 hp and 502 lb-ft - to go with a stiffer suspension, beefed-up differential and, of course, meaner styling. We don't want to ruin the results of the AE video, but right off the bat, the host says that you can feel the extra power of the XFR-S, but that it's not a "night-and-day difference."
Scroll down to see what happens when two high-powered Jags go head-to-head on a track. And then be sure to let us know whether or not you think the added money is worth it for the XFR-S in the completely informal poll below.
