1976 Jaguar Xj6 C Coupe 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Eads, Tennessee, United States
|
This is a survivor 1976 XJ6C. Not many made, and even fewer remain. It is original, to my knowledge. I acquired it a year or so ago, with the intent to restore it, but need to let it go. It was titled in MA, but wears a CA AAA club sticker. I think it was originally a California car. I really don't know any history on the car otherwise. It was sold to me by a Jaguar mechanic in the Boston area. I can provide contact info as needed. The car is silver, with a red interior. It has been repainted. The vinyl top has been removed, and repainted to match the car. The body has paint chips, a few door and body dings, and some rough edges where the front and rear windsheilds meet the body. It has been repainted at some point, and really needs a repaint to get the body back to 100%. I do not know of any rust in the doors or body panels, but have not really taken the car apart to look. The floorpans have rust spots in them. Each side has been repaired at some point, but need to be replaced. I will include replacement floorpans with the car. I bought them to replace the pans when I had the car repainted. The interior has the original Series II red leather back seat and panels, and the majority of the ineterior is original to the car. The front seats are Series III leather. The interior door handles and kick panels are from the same Series III car. They are of a different shade of red than the original, and show a subtle color difference. I wasn't sure which shade I was going with when I planned to redo the interior. The leather is cracked, and needs repairing or replacing. The headliner is intact, but sags. The visors need to be redone. The carpet is the original red, with newer mats, but needs to be replaced. The glass is all good. The power windows all work. The dash has some aging of the wood, with cracking of the clearcoat, but is in good shape. The gauges all work, but sometimes will clip out. I know this is a Lucas electrical issue. I haven't taken the time to chase it down. Likewise the highbeams, which don't want to work. The PO replaced the horn switch with an aftermarket part. I do not use the horn, and disabled it. The radio is a later 4 speaker cassette unit, and works. The climate control and AC work. The right front turn signal lamp is out. Otherwise all the lights work. The engine is the straight 6 DOHC 4.2L with twin Strombergs. It runs fine, but does have some run-on after the ignition is turned off, probably from carbon build-up. I have been putting fuel treatment in the tanks to try to get the deposits off the pistons and valves. The gas tanks are OK, and the fuel pumps and transfer switch work. The transmission shifts as it should, if a bit rough, and the brakes stop as they should. I do drive the car at highway speeds for prolonged periods during my commutes with no problems whatsoever. It is not a daily driver, more an occasional car, but I try to drive it as often as I can, because it is an easy car to drive. The suspension has that silky Jaguar independent suspension ride. It sits low, and just kind of hunkers down in the turns. The car is substantial, and drives that way. I do not know of any problems with the suspension. This car is a great candidate for a full restoration. It can be driven and enjoyed as it is, and restored as the owner wishes. It can be a template for a restomod. It gets looks now, and could be a show stopper with the silver exterior and red interior finished out. This would be a great winter project for the right owner. I have tried to describe the vehicle as honestly as possible. Prospective buyers are encouraged to ask questions before they bid. I will answer them as honestly as I can. The car is sold as is, with no warranty. Pickup or shipping is the buyer's responsibility. I will work with the buyer regarding transport. Please do not bid on the car if you do not intend to buy it. Winning bidder is required to post a nonrefundable $500.00 deposit to PayPal within 24 hrs of auction close, and to pay the balance of the sale price by cash or Cashiers Check from a US bank within 5 business days after auction close. Thank you for looking, and happy bidding.

Petrolicious profiles one of the final Jaguar E-Types
Wed, 10 Apr 2013There's no question that David Paddison has got a very lovely 1974 Jaguar E-Type convertible. The rubber bumpers of this late E-Type may distract ever so slightly from the purity of the lines, but that doesn't mean we're still not completely jealous of the latest Petrolicious subject car.
As usual, the team of vintage car videographers has done a fine job capturing a small moment of gear-headness with this latest installment - The Last of the Breed. We do wonder why we don't get to hear a little bit more of that famed Jaguar V12 rumble, however. There's just a whiff of engine and exhaust sound in the middle of the video, while the rest of the piece sounds like it was scored by Amy Grant's rhythm guitarist. See for yourself, below.
Jaguar XFR-S is motor-porn on a mountain road
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The 2014 Jaguar XFR-S might have only been good enough to take the runner-up spot in our Editor's Choice top five debuts at the LA Auto Show, but we'd be hard-pressed to find a car with a more exhilarating exhaust note. As proof of this, Jaguar released a video showing the XFR-S tearing up a windy, European mountain road in close to a minute of hardcore driving footage.
The big blue cat has the same great exhaust note of the XKR-S, and the driver puts all of the car's 550 horsepower to work demonstrating the handling - and drifting - abilities of the new XFR-S. If there's any disappointment to be had, it's the fact that you have to jump to the 30-second mark of the video for any of the action to start.
Scroll down to watch the video, and be sure your speakers are turned all the way up.
Jaguar Land Rover calls in handful of vehicles over suspension bolts
Thu, 24 Apr 2014With most recalls seemingly affecting mass-market vehicles, it'd be all too easy to assume, consciously or otherwise, that higher-end automobiles never face such issues. But the main reason we don't see the NHTSA recalling more luxury automobiles isn't because of their quality, we'd postulate: it's because of their relative scarcity.
Take Jaguar Land Rover, recalls of whose vehicles we only seem to have cause to report about once a year. So if you're figuring they're about due, here you go. The Indian-owned British auto group has just announced two recalls, both regarding suspension components: one affecting Jaguars and another concerning - you guessed it - Land Rovers.
First up we have a recall for 2013 to 2014 model year Jaguar XJ, XF and XK models - a whopping 297 of them - which have been found to have problematic toe links. Separation of the toe link from the rear sub-frame could result in impaired stability and control over the vehicle's direction, so JLR is calling them in to replace the nuts and washers on the rear toe links.
