1973 Vintage Jaguar - Garage Kept on 2040-cars
Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States
|
Posting this Vintage 1973 Jaguar for my dad. As might have seen in other
craigslist posts, my dad has been selling off his collection of
vintage/classic vehicles. My dad has no room to continue in storing or
paying insurance on his vehicles therefore he is now selling off the
majority of his vehicles.
This Jaguar is road ready. Vehicle drives VERY well despite its age. The original engine was replaced with an American made 350 V8 engine. When the swap of engine took place, the gas tank was not reconnected because the tank had not been drained. The vehicle sat in garage for many years and the gas in the tank went bad so my dad decided to install a tank in the trunk to avoid using the bad gas in the original tank. Don't ask me why he did that but that is what he stated to me. The gas gauge does function and mark correctly. The interior is remarkable and well taken care of as you can see in the pictures. One modification made, which can easily be switched back to its original form, is the front door panels are not original. Instead, they were replaced with wood panels which are not original. All gauge in the instrument panel are working except the clock and oil gauge which need to be plugged in. This occurred when the engine was swapped and not reconnected before reinstalling the dash. The Jaguar has the original AM/FM radio and original speakers. The seals around the front and back windows are cracked because the seals around the windows have never been switched out. Although the car has its flaws, this car needs very little work. Please feel free to look at the vehicle. |

Wacky Jaguar crossover mule is a mind-blowing mashup
Tue, 03 Dec 2013As Jaguar prepares to introduce its first-ever utility vehicle, our spy shooters have captured this jacked-up XF mule out testing. While a production Jaguar crossover will surely resemble something closer to the recent C-X17 Concept, we can't help but think that the automaker could sell at least a few of these lifted, four-wheel-drive sedans.
Other than proving that Jaguar is hard at work developing this new model using a cobbled-together body, there are some details we can put together about this luxury CUV. For one it's about the same length as an XF, while the ride height is obviously taller and the tire track wider. We're not sure what the rig on top of this mule is for, but the whole car has us reminiscing about the old sedan versions of the Subaru Outback and the AMC Eagle (with a luxury spin, of course).
Jaguar trademarks EV-Type nameplate
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Green 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 teaches Mena Suvari and Sebastian Stan how to drive the F-Type
Sun, 27 Jul 2014Automakers conduct driver training programs on racing circuits around the world for a variety of participants: journalists, customers, even celebrities. And at a recent session of the Jaguar Performance Driving Academy at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, the Leaping Cat marque had a couple of the Hollywood types in the paddock.
In addition to the various (evidently well-heeled) members of the public, learning how to pilot the new F-Type Coupe R on the track this time around were actors Sebastian Stan and Mena Suvari. You might recognize Stan from his roll as Bucky Barnes in the Captain America movies and Suvari from such red, white and blue favorites as American Beauty and the American Pie franchise, but both got a first-hand taste of one of Britain's finest courtesy of Jaguar.
So how did it go? Well, as one of the less-famous participants put it, it was #awesomesauce." We couldn't possibly reproduce in words her enthusiasm in person and on camera, so you'll just have to watch the video below to see for yourself.
