I have a 1989 Jaguar XJS for sale.  It has 102000 miles. 

The exterior is beautiful, has nice shiny glossy dark green paint, and very few minor dings (smaller than a quarter) 

The interior is tan leather, it is in good shape, and while it does show signs of aging, it is still soft, and free of any rips and tears. 

The convertible top does have several small tears in it, as you can see in the pictures.  The top, and rear quarter windows work perfectly, and go up, and retract under their own power, using the switch on the center console.

This car is currently not drivable, I have been able to start it, it has spark, gets fuel to the rails, but half of the injectors are not firing.  We have swapped out "bad injectors" with known good injectors, and this did not fix the problem.  We tested the fuel injection wiring harness and it appeared to be good.  It leads me to believe that you will need a new Fuel Injection ECM to fix the car... they sell for between 150-300 dollars on ebay. 

Engine has good compression, and turns over freely.  If you wiggle the connector at the ecm she will start up occasionally.  Car does not overheat, and is in great shape overall, just need to figure out why injectors aren't firing to get it going.  Car comes with lein sale paperwork for the state of california.  Paperwork shows over 3900 in repairs to the car.  Transmission was fully rebuilt, guy couldn't pay the bill so it was sold as collateral.  I have the lein sale paperwork, and was told by my auto registration place that it would be between 250 and 300 dollars to transfer title and register the car. 

This is a great car for the jaguar enthusiast.  It does need a few minor things, but is a beautful car and could easily be brought back to life.  This car will be sold as is.  I ran a VIN check, and the car has a clean title, no reports of loss or accidents, checks out great.  See pictures or contact me for more information.

Junkyard Gem: 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Convertible

Sun, Aug 12 2018

The Jaguar XJ-S sold for big money, cost big money to keep running, and depreciated hard once its edges got a bit rough. You'll still find examples of the XJ-S in the big American self-service yards nowadays, but this '90 is the first convertible I have found in many years. 4,715 1990 XJ-Ss were sold in the United States; I haven't been able to find a reliable figure for the number of convertibles, but it must have been small. That makes today's Junkyard Gem a real rarity— not as hard to find as a Ford Tempo All-Wheel-Drive, of course, but still a prize. Jaguar kept the 5.3-liter V12 in production from 1971 through 1992, and when it was running properly — which wasn't as often as XJ-S owners wished— it couldn't be beaten for smoothness. By 1990, Jaguar had switched from fuel injection by The Prince of Darkness to a system made by Magneti Marelli. This one is quite rough, and it shows signs of having been parked outdoors with the top down for a few years. Since you can buy nice examples for well under ten grand, restoring this one would have been a money-losing proposition. This content is hosted by a third party.

In it, Bunny Lebowski reveals that none of her toes have been cut off by kidnappers; some suspension of disbelief is required here, because Americans couldn't buy the '90 XJ-S with a manual transmission. Maybe it's a gray-market six-cylinder car. The price tag on a new 1990 XJ-S convertible was a stunning $57,000, which comes to about $113,000 in inflation-adjusted 2018 dollars. Still, BMW shoppers had to pay $70,000 for a new 750iL that year, and that V12-powered machine didn't even have a convertible top. This content is hosted by a third party.

Hot Rod Garage series premieres with 700-hp big-block Jaguar XJ

Fri, 23 May 2014

Roadkill hosts Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger have broken up - kinda - to spin off a new show, Hot Rod Garage, that mostly gives up the driveway and parking lot wrench work for the confines of a garage. We say kinda because while Finnegan is the primary host for Hot Rod Garage, Freiburger plays guest host and the new show starts off by wrenching on the Roadkill Draguar project car.
What's the Draguar? It's a 1974 Jaguar XJ12 that's about to be force-fed a 383-cubic-inch Chevrolet long-block engine with tidbits like Holley carbs, a Weiand 6-71 roots blower and a "custom WillBlow transmission," all good for about 700 horsepower. After that Finnegan gets into swapping parts on his wife's El Camino and some TIG welding lessons.
You can check out the first episode below. And in case you're worried, no, Roadkill isn't going away.

Jaguar teases E-Pace crossover details - and price under $40K

Wed, Jun 21 2017

So it turns out we'll be seeing the fully revealed Jaguar E-Pace much sooner than we expected. Jaguar announced the debut will occur on July 13, so we're less than a month away. The company also provided a teaser of the E-Pace's tail. It shows a fat rear fender and Jaguar's trademark taillight design. While many other companies would be content to release a teaser and nothing else, Jaguar actually provided a number of other interesting details. Among them is the powertrain. It will only be available with gasoline-powered engines and all-wheel drive. We're expecting it to use roughly the same powertrain combinations as the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The other big details are pricing and availability. The baby Jaguar SUV starts at $39,595, which is over $3,000 less than the entry-level F-Pace and the Range Rover Evoque. You'll also be able to bring one home from the dealer next year. Related Video: Image Credit: Jaguar Jaguar Crossover SUV Luxury jaguar e-pace
