1973 Vintage Jaguar - Garage Kept on 2040-cars
Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States
|
Posting this Vintage 1973 Jaguar for my dad. As might have seen in other
craigslist posts, my dad has been selling off his collection of
vintage/classic vehicles. My dad has no room to continue in storing or
paying insurance on his vehicles therefore he is now selling off the
majority of his vehicles.
This Jaguar is road ready. Vehicle drives VERY well despite its age. The original engine was replaced with an American made 350 V8 engine. When the swap of engine took place, the gas tank was not reconnected because the tank had not been drained. The vehicle sat in garage for many years and the gas in the tank went bad so my dad decided to install a tank in the trunk to avoid using the bad gas in the original tank. Don't ask me why he did that but that is what he stated to me. The gas gauge does function and mark correctly. The interior is remarkable and well taken care of as you can see in the pictures. One modification made, which can easily be switched back to its original form, is the front door panels are not original. Instead, they were replaced with wood panels which are not original. All gauge in the instrument panel are working except the clock and oil gauge which need to be plugged in. This occurred when the engine was swapped and not reconnected before reinstalling the dash. The Jaguar has the original AM/FM radio and original speakers. The seals around the front and back windows are cracked because the seals around the windows have never been switched out. Although the car has its flaws, this car needs very little work. Please feel free to look at the vehicle. |

First Ride: 2014 Jaguar F-Type [w/video]
Fri, 08 Feb 2013Shotgun In Coventry's First Sports Car In Decades
For every car, there is a passionate group of fans who love it, and the F-Type already has a few million rabid followers. These are fabulous things, sports cars, and we're very happy that Jaguar is making one again. Finally. (Before you start relishing the prospect of correcting us, the XK is really a grand tourer, not a sports car.)
The main question, however, will be whether someone in a position to buy a lifestyle-enhancing yet impractical F-Type will do so in the face of more established competitors from Porsche, Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW. The last time Jaguar built a true two-seater sports car (1974 E-Type; the last of the XJ220 limited run in 1994 doesn't count in this league), most of today's new buyers were too young or may not yet have been born. At any rate, the F-Type has a lot of work to do for the brand beyond just selling itself.
Jaguar lets first outsiders drive new F-Type
Mon, 17 Dec 2012What do you do when you're an automaker with an all-new and brand-defining sports car, one of them with a supercharged V8 cranking out 495 horsepower? You let proven race drivers test them out on track and on the road.
And what do you do if you're Jaguar and you're in that situation? Why, naturally, you make a video of it. That's how we get footage of racers Martin Brundle, Justin Bell and Christian Danner being choppered into the UK's Snetterton track to test the V6-equipped Jaguar F-Type S prototype. Then when they're finished with kerb-lined apexes, they take the V8 S prototype out onto the roads to run it through hedge-lined apexes.
According to one of them, "very fast, very nimble, great engine" is what will soon be headed our way. Check it out in the video below.
Jeremy Clarkson's Jag going up for auction
Sun, 18 Aug 2013Fans of Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson might want to make plans to be in the UK next weekend. On August 24, Anglia Car Auctions in King's Lynn is auctioning off Clarkson's black 1999 Jaguar XJR as part of its classic sale. According to the auction house, the Jag was "originally the daily drive" of Clarkson and has had one registered owner since.
Clarkson's former ride clocks in at 93,000 miles and has an estimated price of 2,500 to 4,000 pounds. At roughly $3,300 to $5,300 in US dollars, that could be quite a steal for a hardcore Jeremy Clarkson fan. And with a supercharged 4.0-liter V8 engine and lavish interior, it's a luxury sport sedan lover's dream.
This isn't the first time Clarkson has crossed paths with Anglia Car Auctions. Back in 2009, he and fellow Top Gear stars James May and Richard Hammond made an appearance at another vintage auction to buy vehicles for a future segment of the show.
