Finally, A Jag That Either A True Collector Or Muscle Car Driver Would Own! on 2040-cars
North Clarendon, Vermont, United States

She's powered by Chevy! But almost ALL of the original parts(except block) that were removed during conversion will be included with the sale. Paperwork and verification traces this vehicle to last known 71 XJ6 built by British Leyland and shown at the 1970 Chicago International Auto Show. After the show the vehicle was purchased by the Donaldson family of Stamford, Connecticut and has been with me since 1976.
The 350 hydro-matic with Edelbrock 4 barrel carb and chrome racing intake manifold plus center drop Corvette exhaust manifold means she really flies. Vehicle does not have air conditioning installed and if you wish to use it for long distance travel, I would recommend putting in an over-drive or changing the rear gearing. One of my former students talked his dad into selling it to my wife and I when the kids got their drivers licenses and "who was going to drive the Jag" almost tore the family apart. She needs a caring home and I need the garage space! Passport and ALL original manuals are going with you. One more thing - This car has another secret. It was driven by a young musician from Modesto, California who moved to Belmont, Vermont in 1978. As our friendship grew, Phil "Floatin" Houghton shared his past with my wife and me over lakeside chats, moonlit dinners and cruises in the Jag. Phil would say that "the only car I ever drove that had a better ride than my 71 XJ6 was a Rolls Royce Corniche convertible". He was right, but then he was right about a lot of things. Phil built "La Chateau Recording Studio, L.A.'s first 42 track facility, in 1976. Phil went on to record with such artists as Dan Hartman/Relight My Fire (Edgar Winter Group) but will always be known for being the first white rock musician to play with an all black group. You may have heard of them - They were called The Jackson Five! That's right - Michael Jackson's lead guitarist drove our mid-night blue kitty. I really did not intend to pull a Banksy on Ebay. Give her a good home. |

Hot Rod Garage series premieres with 700-hp big-block Jaguar XJ
Fri, 23 May 2014Roadkill 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 producing short film starring Damian Lewis from Homeland [w/video]
Fri, 30 Nov 2012Jaguar is working up a short film to coincide with the US debut of the company's new F-Type. Desire will feature actor Damian Lewis in the lead role opposite Jordi Molla as the main villain in the story. The whole of the action will take place against the picturesque backdrop of the Chilean desert with filming starting early next month. According to Jaguar, the story will follow Lewis as he plays Clark, a man who delivers cars for living. Things get exciting when he crosses paths with a young woman played by Shannyn Sossamon.
With music by Lana Del Rey and some serious production value, Desire sounds keen to take its place among great automotive advertising short films like the BMW Driver series. Jaguar has released a quick teaser, which you can check out by heading over to the F-Type site. You may also take a peek at the full press release below for more information. Expect to see the film debut early next year.
