Clear

Gasoline

I'm forced to sell my beloved 1976 black-on-black Jaguar XJ12 because I simply have no space to put it.Excellent body condition, minor tear on front seats, great wood/steering wheel/dash, two small cracks on vinyl dash, everything else perfect. Panels in great shape. New weatherstripping throughout. Tinted windows. The utmost care has been invested on that vehicle, always serviced professional, always well-owned, not a dime spared. Until now!Perfect chrome and glass throughout. All electrics work.No leaks.Brand new tires (less than 200 miles)New GM400 transmission installed together with the Chevy conversion.Best workmanship possible - $9,000 professional conversion to Chevy 350.Also: distributor, wires, filters, carburator, filters, new radiator - the works really.Service records.ONE PROBLEM:It does not run. Again, the car does not and should not be driven. Reason? Connecting rod failure. The engine must be rebuilt or replaced. Over-revving: common issue on 350s, but I have neither the time nor the space to address it.It's a shame, because everything else is near perfect condition, from a collector's home.Anyway, price reflects situation. Clear title, paid registration till end of year. Perfect SMOG.Thanks for looking and don't hesitate to get in touch.On Apr-10-15 at 14:24:12 PDT, seller added the following information: I have been asked so I respond: All the peripherals are in excellent working order.
