This is an inexpensive way to have a fun car. I bought it in 2010 for just that reason.
The exterior looks decent, not perfect (shiney on the sides, a little dull on the top surfaces), but very little rust. The car originally came from Palm Springs, CA. and has only been driven in the summer and stored in the winter since living in Michigan.
The leather interior is in good condition. The front seats are clean and free of tears, the rear is coming unstiched, but the leather is in good condition. The side trim looks good. The dash pad is cracked in two places but still looks ok. The wood trim on the dash is covered with a carbon fiber-look overlay. The carpet is out of the car so you can see the floor but is still in good condition. the headliner is in good condition as is the glass in the car.
The wheels are Weld Stars, from the 1990's, very unique. Good rubber. The original brakes stop the car fine. The original suspension is in good working order.
The Chevy 305 with tuned port injection came from a 1985 Camaro IROC and was installed using a kit from John's Cars, Dallas, TX. I have no idea how many miles it has on it. It puffs a little oil on start up so it probablly needs valve stem seals but still runs strong and sounds good. The GM 700R4 trans shifts smooth through the original Jag shifter and makes this car an economical highway cruiser.
The exhaust flows through stock mufflers minus the rear resonators which have been replaced with some 3" stainless tips. Much better than the 1 3/4" stock exhaust, really sounds sweet.
The radiator is cooled by electric fan which is currently hard-wired "on". Just needs a new thermal switch.
The car has A/C but needs a new compressor, clutch, and receiver drier to operate again.
If you are looking for something you can drive right now as you fix the little stuff, this is an awesome deal for the money.
This is a used car with no warranties or guarantees implied. You should come look before you bid to be sure the car is what you expect. I wouldn't hesitate to drive the car anywhere.

Jaguar F-Type meets America in first TV spots
Wed, 15 May 2013With its new "Your Turn" global ad campaign, Jaguar has introduced its 2014 F-Type to the world of broadcast media. The effort takes aim at the monied 25-54 demographic, which makes sense of Jaguar recently shacking up with the 2013 Playboy Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun and San Francisco NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. You'll also be seeing the new roadster on ESPN's SportsCenter, late night ABC talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, the USA Network show Covert Affairs, the Sundance Channel and theaters, magazines and everywhere digital. On top of all that, a social media campaign includes a contest called #MyTurnToJag that will reward four winners with a custom drive in the new convertible.
You'll find the first two spots below, along with a press release on the roaring red marketing onslaught headed your way.
Are you the soon-to-be-revealed Jaguar CUV concept?
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Following the teaser of the Jaguar CX-17 Concept released last weekend, the first official image of the Jaguar crossover concept appears to have hit the Internet ahead of its introduction at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Assuming this is the real deal, the tall, upright front end removes any doubt that this is anything but a preview for the upcoming Jaguar crossover, which will likely be called either the XQ or the Q-Series. Reports suggest that Jag's first-ever CUV is likely to go into production in 2016, and it will bring with it the option for a Jaguar-developed four-cylinder engine replacing the current mills still sourced from former parent Ford.
Jaguar F-Type Project 7 leaks in production trim ahead of Goodwood debut
Tue, 24 Jun 2014Just yesterday we brought you word that Jaguar was planning to bring something special to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year - the first product of its Special Operations division - and now we have it right here.
Previewed in concept form last year, Jaguar's big reveal appears to be the production version of the Project 7 show car - an extreme speedster version of the F-Type. Though we still don't have official details, these images leaked courtesy of 4WheelsNews show that the roadster seems to have lost little in the transition from concept to reality.
The bright blue paint job has been replaced by a more British shade of green, but the white trim - including the racing stripes running across (not up) the hood, the grille surround and the number circle on the door - appear to have carried over. As has the D-Type-inspired, fin-like, single raised cowling on the rear deck, though now positioned behind the left-hand driver's seat instead of the right. The wheels are fresh and the front lip spoiler looks even bigger, and the rear wing appears to have been reshaped.
