1970 Jensen Interceptor Mark II PS, PB, PWFactory AC (needs to be changed but complete) Comes with a factory installed Chrysler 383 V8 Engine and TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Italian design, american power, british construction. This is a nice running driving car. The body is straight and paint is good/fair. No rust. Excellent interior (cracked dash). Could use some brake work but still stops fine. (servo/booster needs to be rebuilt) Car is not perfect but is pretty darn good for being 41 years old. Correct Arizona title (restored/salvage) in my name. I was told the car was previously "totaled" by a previous owner/insurance company due to a minor front end accident and was subsequently repaired. Email me with questions. I'll take more photos, just tell me what you want. ----------- The Jensen Interceptor is a sporting GT-class car hand-built in the United Kingdom by Jensen Motors between 1966 and 1976. The Interceptor name had been used previously by Jensen for an earlier car made between 1950 and 1957. The car broke with Jensen tradition by having a steel bodyshell instead of glass-reinforced plastic and by having the body designed by an outside firm, Carrozzeria Touring of Italy, rather than the in-house staff. The early bodies were Italian-built, by Vignale, before production by Jensen themselves began – with subtle body modifications. The engine was a Chrysler V8 initially of 6276 cc (383 c.i.) with optional manual (Mark I, only 22 built) or TorqueFlite automatic transmissions driving the rear wheels through a limited slip differential in a conventional Salisbury rear axle. The engine grew to 7212 cc (440 c.i.) in late 1971 with 4-bbl carburation. The SP (Six-Pack) model of 1971–73 offered 3x2-bbl carburation; only 232 were built and had the distinction of being the most powerful car ever to have been made by Jensen (390 hp (290 kW)). The Interceptor saloon had a distinctive large, curving wrap-around rear window that doubled as a tailgate. The original specification included electric windows, reclining front seats, a wood rimmed steering wheel, radio with twin speakers, reversing lights and an electric clock. Power steering was included as standard from September 1968. The Mark II was announced in October 1969, revised frontal styling and vented disc brakes. The Mark III of 1971 had revised seats, fully-cast alloy wheels plus some other improvements.
