Vehicle Detail
1985 JAGUAR XJ6CHEVY POWERED As pictured, 1985 Jaguar Vanden Plas for sale. This Jag is powered by a 350 chevy engine and was recently pulled out of of storage where it has been for 6 years or longer (according to the DMV it's been unregistered for 10 years). We have clean Wisconsin title. The car has not been detailed but still looks good. The Jag had some old gas in it so we flushed the passenger side gas tank and replaced the carb. It also had some old mouse stuffing in one of the tailpipes that blew out when we got it running. We also replaced the battery with a marginal used one. The engine does not smoke (it was cold in the pics and was just started to move it around) and sounds great. The Jag does now start, run and drive. We have only driven it a few miles but have let it idle for long periods. It starts good, engine sounds good and we were able to get the transmission to shift through all three gears. In the brief ride I took it offered the usual soft ride of a Jaguar. The gas pedal was stiff and it seemed a bit sluggish. We were briefly able to test the headlights, power windows and heater blower and they do work. The right blinker worked but the left did not. We did not locate the face plate for the stereo. The Jag does have good brakes and they are firm. The power steering works, but has leak. The body is still excellent with only a few small imperfections. The exhaust is good but needs to be hung better on one side.. The seats and carpet are nice, dash is cracked, wood inlays have aged, tires are very good and so is the glass. The AC compressor has been removed and is in the trunk. We did not extensively road test the vehicle. Since the gas tank was flushed, we added a couple of extra fuel filters to make sure only clean gas got to the carb. The underside of the Jaguar is very clean and solid. It should be thoroughly gone through prior to it becoming a regular driver. True mileage unknown, speedo and gas gauge not working. It's going to need some tinkering but is an excellent project vehicle. Here's your chance to pick up a very nice Chevy powered Jaguar for a reasonable sum. ***NO RESERVE AUCTION, HIGH BIDDER WINS*** TERMS AND CONDITIONS: By bidding on this item, you are agreeing to the following terms.
