Jaguar XJ6 with Dodge Slant 6 engine from Arizona (never salted) Call 920-320-9192 with questions Here we have up for your consideration this super clean 85 Jaguar XJ6 with transplant engine/trans Mopar Slant 6. When I lived in So Cal this car would not be that unusual but here in the Mid West it is...Everything here in Wisconsin is really Rusty Crusty! So if you want a rust free car then this auction is for you.Ever think about jumping on a Plane and going to get a rust free car..I have! What's that worth for a project car that has a good base to start with..The original engine is gone and replaced with the late 1980 ish I think it is 1987 maybe or so Slant 6. The engine has electronic ignition so think it is later and has aluminum intake. The transmission is also Mopar and will have to say it all fits in there very well... I registered the car to make sure there was no problems..I have no where to store it so it has to move to the next owner. When I bought it the brakes where not working and was told it was a line but after inspecting how truly rust free this car was I looked elsewhere and it turned out to be the master cylinder tank.(plastic)was cracked.It has brakes now but does not stop great the calipers are working but not correctly....I will have to add that it was a pleasure to bleed a car brakes when they came right loose because of the no salt on car thing...It was nice! All window glass seems to have no cracks in...etc.The car sat for a long long time at a local restaurant stranded. I think they drove this car from Arizona to Wisconsin so that is kinda amazing in it self. Most everything crucial seems to work. Electric windows even work. Sunroof is stuck and does not work but motor makes noise. Engine runs good and it drives ok. The power steering line had a pin hole and leaked so I cut it and spiced it back together. Brake lights where not working and it ended up being a switch. I bought it off eBay. Speedometer is not hooked up by transmission ..I looked! I think the door panels must have been replaced because they are too nice to be original..Seats are ok but have a tear here and there...Seat covers will fix it. Carpet is nice and doors shut really really nice. I'm not sure of actual miles on car since speedo is not hooked up but think is is somewhat close to what it says plus 5k or so but that is a guess. The oil pressure gauge is working and think the alternator. The temp sensor gauge is not. I think the engine and trans are solid ..just as a side note.I was told the engine was out of a truck but that has not been confirmed. The engine numbers are under a bracket and have been lazy..I'm fixing a few things as the auction continues that need to be addressed I have been driving the car and put new bushings and boots in the rack and pinion so that's done and drives nice....If you had this done I'm sure they would charge $800 or so to have this done. wiring on the car under the hood to hook up engine looks like a fifth grader worked on it but I guess it works but should be gone through Gauges need to be addressed. Car looks like it was repainted at one time... sold as is as a hot rod project...but it does run and drive. I bought a 73 Jaguar in California when I lived there and it had a 350 chev transpant and the guy who had it done by someone charged him $5000. Who ever gets this project car will fall in love with it...Its a nice ride! Let me know if you have interest...You need to be a Mechanical person and enjoy working on cars to own this! The car is located in Manitowoc ,WI 54220 Sold AS -IS |

Chinese patent filing shows what could be next Royal Limo from Jaguar
Fri, 10 May 2013Someone filed a patent application in China for the Jaguar XJ limousine seen above, but no one's sure who filed it or what the car is for. One camp thinks it's a State limo for UK royals like the Bentley State Limousine, another camp thinks it's the work of aftermarket coachbuilders.
One thing's for sure: Assuming it ever gets made, anyone who buys it wants an XJ in name only; the modifications have removed almost all of the grace of the standard sedan. Estimated to be more than three feet longer than an XJ, the stretched rear doors are backed by an even more stretched rear section that, in losing the trademark XJ C-pillar (the D-pillar on this car), adds all sorts of ungainliness to its backside. What's more, the roof rises from front to rear, we can only assume to make room for people with large hats. Or the NBA player that the Chinese call "Sweet Melon."
Head over to AutoSohu for more photos from the application, if you're sure that's what you really want.
Jaguar's famed design director Ian Callum is quitting
Tue, Jun 4 2019Jaguar's director of design Ian Callum is officially stepping down. Callum has been with the company for over 20 years, leading numerous important and legendary designs. To name a few, Callum is responsible for recent cars like the Jaguar F-Type, XF and I-Pace. He also designed the C-X75, which was a concept hypercar that Jaguar absolutely should have made. "I have had an incredible career at Jaguar," Callum says. "One of my biggest highlights was creating XF because it represented the beginning of a new era moving Jaguar from tradition to contemporary design — it was a significant turning point in our story." Callum also says he isn't done designing cars — he's even going to continue to act as a consultant for Jaguar after his departure. It's unclear what his main project will be after he leaves in July, but he's left the door open for himself. "I came into this role with a mission to take Jaguar design back to where it deserved to be. It has taken 20 years, but I believe I have achieved what I set out to do. Given the strength of both our products and the design team I feel that now is the right time to move on, both personally and professionally, and explore other design projects," Callum says. In addition to slick sports cars and sultry sedans, Callum is also responsible for leading Jaguar into the era of SUVs and crossovers. He headed up the design for the F-Pace and E-Pace. We found both of those to be some of the better looking crossovers on sale today, so props to Callum for finding and implementing the Jaguar style in the inherently unstylish crossover format. Callum has designed plenty of great cars outside of Jaguar, too. A few examples include the Aston Martin DB7, DB9, Vanquish and Ford Escort Cosworth. Our big question is, what's next for Callum? Whatever car he decides to design is probably going to look the business, so we're excited for any projects he gets involved in after Jaguar. Taking his place at Jaguar is current creative design director Julian Thomson. He's been with the company since 2000, and has previously worked with Ford, Lotus and Volkswagen.
