1969 Jaguar E-type on 2040-cars
Frostburg, Pennsylvania, United States
For sale is a 1969 Jaguar E type 4.2L Series II Coupe. The car runs and drives great. Mechanically it is original,
with just under 54,000 miles on it. The paint is an older custom gold color, but still shines well.
Over the past 5 years a good bit of work has been done to it. This includes front and rear rebuilt calipers, new
brake hoses, pads, parking brake pads, rotors, ball joints, tie rod ends, differential mounts, exhaust and all
exhaust mountings, new stainless steel heater pipes, all new water hoses, new water pump, both brake masters and
clutch master cylinders rebuilt, as well as new rack mounts and boots. For the interior a new carpet kit was
installed along with new door and side panels, door caps, and sill covers.
Overall the car is mostly complete, but is missing a few pieces. There are various chrome strips for the doors that
are missing, as well as all the chrome strips for the trunk boards, which also still need to be reupholstered. The
air conditioning does not work, as the compressor and dryer are not installed, but included is a used original
compressor that the owner purchased. While the transmission shifts fine, there is some audible gear/bearing noise.
The starter may need replaced eventually as it occasionally has trouble turning the engine over. The passenger side
door needs adjusted and has a broken latch. The car looks fairly solid underneath. There doesn't seem to be any
apparent rust issues. The front frame looks to be straight.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Here's what a front-row seat looked like in 2014 Mille Miglia
Tue, 26 Aug 2014From 1927 to 1957, the Mille Miglia was one of the great, romantic European road races of the golden era of motorsports. The cars were fast, beautiful and loud but also extremely dangerous and regularly claimed drivers' lives. After two fatal accidents in '57, the event finally had to reform and came back in 1977 as a historic rally held over the course of several days. That didn't make things boring, though, and Xcar found that out firsthand with a front-row seat to this year's race in a 2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.
Xcar was actually following the Jaguar team this year that included Ian Callum and Jay Leno in an XK120, which we previously got a glimpse of when it was covered on Jay Leno's Garage. Where Leno focuses on a more personal story of competing, this one takes a more macro view. You really get an idea of how crazy the Mille Miglia still is, and while the F-Type is way too new to actually compete in the rally, it can still wear an event sticker and drive with the vintage racers.
One amazing fact about today's Mille Miglia is that if you're competing in the event, there are basically no rules. The roads are technically still open to traffic, but the police shut down intersections and provide a rolling roadblock. Xcar's F-Type alternated between following on the course with the classics and snipping off chunks of the route to watch the participants arrive at each stop. Check out the video to experience fantastic historic rally.
