Tijeras, New Mexico, United States

 Classic 1979 Jaguar XJ-S Coupe V-12 fuel injected engine, auto trans, 4 wheel disc brakes, bucket seats, tires have a lot of tread left, spare has never been used, full sized new spare tire and wheel. Even has an 8-track tape player with the cassette adaptor.

This is a PROJECT CAR or for PARTS. Engine turns over freely with the starter but will not start. Engine still has antifreeze in it and the oil appears clean. The steering rack leaks. The seats have been removed but are included. They are sun baked and  need to be recovered. Interior has sun damage as well.

The body overall is in  great shape. The doors close smoothly with no sagging at all. Comes with a new battery. There are no keys for anything. There is no ignition switch. There is no trunk key but the latch works fine to hold it shut. The car has been repainted white at some time but I don't know how long ago. All glass is good. Odometer shows 26,662 but I do not believe that it works.

This car sat outside in the Southwest Sun for about 10 years. One of the windows was partly down as well. That's why the interior is so rough.     Clear title, in my name, and in hand.   I am the second owner as far as I can tell. Bought from an estate so the history is not fully complete.

I can deliver this car, if needed, for a negotiated price, after full payment has been received.      There are also many carriers who specialize in vehicle transport.  Check them out for pricing.

If you have any questions regarding anything about this car please ask or call 1-505-250-5798 . There is no reserve price on this auction.    Thanks 

This car is located very near Albuquerque, NM.

Watch this bad parker get what's coming to him

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

If you're lucky enough to have a nice vehicle, do your fellow gearheads a favor and don't park like a clown. Seriously. Not only will you anger everyone who is trying to find a place to park, but your nice car is a billboard reinforcing the stereotype that car people are self-important and inconsiderate.
Take this gentleman for example. He has a Jaguar XK, and understandably wants to take care of it. Rather than parking it far, far away from any other cars and getting a bit of exercise by walking to his building, he takes up two spots (albeit barely) close to the structure. From the cameraman's narration, we can tell his coworkers are less than thrilled about his inability to stay between the lines.
Naturally, they wanted to teach him a lesson, so they parked a bigger vehicle as close to his driver's door as possible. Mr. XK's attempts to enter his vehicle are rather amusing, culminating in his climbing through the passenger side and scooching over to the driver's seat. While we can debate this sort of treatment all day long, it was effective. The video includes a follow up at the end showing where the XK driver parked the next day, and as you might guess, it wasn't in the same spot.

Jaguar trademarks EV-Type nameplate

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Green may have been a popular color choice for the classic Jaguar E-Type, but even in Lightweight form (pictured above), it was hardly what you'd call environmentally friendly. Not by today's standards, anyway, with six-, eight- and twelve-cylinder engines displacing between 3.8 and 5.3 liters. But Jaguar looks to be preparing to revive the nameplate - or at least one similar - with a new electric vehicle in the works.
According to the latest intel, Jaguar has applied both in the US and in Europe to trademark the name EV-Type. The implication that it's developing an electric vehicle is clear, as is the reference to its iconic sports car of yore. But more than that, we don't know. We could be looking at an electric version of the current F-Type, a project to convert original E-Types to electric power or a different model altogether.
It wouldn't be the first time, of course, that we'd see Jaguar toying with the idea of electric propulsion. A couple of years ago, the British automaker demonstrated a plug-in hybrid XJ_e prototype, and showcased both the C-X16 and C-X75 concepts with advanced hybrid powertrains. But it has yet to put any such system into production, relying instead on the small diesels it sells in Europe to keep its carbon footprint small.

Jaguar bringing all-wheel-drive F-Type to LA Auto Show [w/video]

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Jaguar's big splash at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show was showing off the slinky F-Type Coupe; perhaps one of the loveliest car shapes on the road today. This year the company won't have a show-stopping new design to offer, but the news that all-wheel drive is coming to the F-Type range is, nevertheless, pretty spectacular.
Mixed in with news about a technical partnership between Jaguar and the Bloodhound SSC World Land Speed Record program, the British brand announced this morning that it will show the first AWD F-Type Coupe at the 2014 LA show later this month.
Jaguar tells us that the sure-footed cat, in AWD F-Type R Coupe form, will run from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds, with a limited top speed of 186 mph.
