I have a 1973 Jag XJ6. I bought it from the 2nd owner he used to show the car in car shows and road race it a little he has owned it since 1976. it has TONS of extras on it XJS wheels, iskendarian cams,3 side draft weber carbs ( 45DCOE side draft), Dana posi track Independent rear suspension, aftermarket crossflow radiator,47,000 miles on rebuilt engine, capactive discharge ignition, stainless steel exhaust system (except mufflers), stainless steel calipers with silicone brake fluid, halogen sealed beam headlights. the interior is like new it was really well taken care of. the top looks very good as well, it has fiberglass front fenders. OK that's the good stuff, now the bad, the car has been sitting for 14 years and the engine has seized up. its just from sitting to long but the good part is that it already has a th400 which is a GM 4 speed auto transmission, so a 350 chevy engine (or any chevy engine) will bolt right to the tranny. I currently have transmission fluid in the engine and Im going to try and get it to break loose. if not then I will put a small block in it and sell it for a whole lot more money than im asking now. I own a small hot rod shop and I could easily put a small block in it and make it a cool little ride I just don't have the time to do it right now, we are covered up. HOWEVER if it doesn't sell that's what we will do with it. it does have a little bit of rust but overall its in real good shape. a person could buy it and sell the aftermarket parts like the three side draft carbs, the intake, the cams and the hi voltage ignition for enough to buy a small block and have a very cool little hot rod. any Questions call or text Kenny 573-330-2912 rustednutsrodshopllc.cm can deliver anywhere in the 48 states for $2 a mile one way and we also have the ability to accept credit and debit cards.

Jaguar Land Rover building new R&D center for hybrids, EVs, autonomous cars
Wed, 25 Sep 2013The success of Jaguar Land Rover in recent years has largely been down to a resurgent product lineup, but a recent move into the research and development will see the British-based, Indian-owned brands take the fight to its German rivals more aggressively than ever before.
JLR is investing 50 million pounds ($80,345,000, as of this writing) in a joint R&D center in central England. The move will more than triple its staff dedicated to research, from 150 to 500, with Wolfgang Epple, JLR's Director of Research and Technology telling Automotive News Europe, "In order to play among the big animals in automotive and to be anchored in the mind of customers you have to have offered something unique, to be first in market. We want to be one of the key premier automotive manufacturers."
Jaguar Land Rover's 50-million-pound contribution represents more than half of the 94-million-pound tab, on the so-called National Automotive Innovation Campus. Based at Warwick University, Tata's European Technical Center, Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Higher Education Funding Council, an agency of the British government, are all chipping in for the facility.
Jay Leno's Garage drives Steve McQueen's 1956 Jaguar XKSS
Tue, 27 May 2014Steve McQueen might be the coolest American male of the 20th century. With movies like Bullitt and Le Mans, McQueen established himself as the king of cool of his era, and on the list of actors you would pick for a fantasy racing team - he or Paul Newman are the natural first choices. The latest Jay Leno's Garage video highlights one of McQueen's most special cars - a 1956 Jaguar XKSS.
Just 16 XKSS models were made because a fire at the Jaguar factory halted production. It was meant to be a street version of the company's very successful D-Type racer, with a modified version of its 3.4-liter straight-six-engine and a four-speed manual gearbox. McQueen clearly had an eye for great vehicles. He drove his Jag around Los Angeles years after it was a cutting-edge piece of technology. Since then, it became part of the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA. Autoblog's The List even took a ride in it when the show visited the museum.
The XKSS is one of the pinnacles of automotive design of the '50s, and its association with McQueen makes this example even more extraordinary. Leno is in love with the car from the moment he sees it, and it's hard to argue with him. Between its emphasized curves and raspy exhaust, this is one sexy Jag. Scroll down to get an eyeful and earful from one of McQueen's favorite cars.
Ferrari exec to lead Jaguar North America
Tue, 06 Aug 2013Jaguar has announced that Jeff Curry will be serving as the brand's new North American vice president, effective August 13. The move is a coup for Jag, which lured Curry away from his previous posting as VP of marketing for Ferrari North America, and is further evidence of just how strong Jaguar's comeback has gotten.
Curry has spent over 20 years in the auto industry, and has worked with Audi, SiriusXM and Land Rover, where he made his start in the industry. His primary responsibilities with Jaguar will cover marketing communications, customer relationship management, and product planning.
Jaguar Land Rover's North American president, Andy Goss, heaped praise on the brand's newest addition saying, "Jeff brings with him extensive automotive and luxury marketing experience, critical expertise in leading-edge technologies and a personal passion for automobiles."
