HERE FOR SALE TODAY IS A 1985 JAGUAR XJS COUPE. THIS JAG HAS HAD A CHEVY 350 ENGINE CONVERSION ALONG WITH A 700R OVERDRIVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I DID THE CONVERSION MYSELF. I WILL LIST LATER ALL THE NEW PARTS. FIRST, THE CAR IS A DRY SOUTHWEST CAR WITH NO RUST. THE CAR HAS NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT SO THERE IS NO BODY FILLER ANYWHERE. THE CLEAR COAT ON THE PAINT HAS LET GO AND THERFORE NEEDS A REPAINT. THE CHROME AND STAINLESS ON THE CAR IS EXCELLENT. THE BODY IS STRAIGHT WITH ONLY A COUPLE MINOR PARKING LOT DINGS. THE INTERIOR NEEDS A NEW HEADLINER. THE CARPETS ARE VERY GOOD . THE DASH IS VERY GOOD AS WELL . THE FRONT SEATS WERE RECOVERED AT ONE TIME IN VINYL AND THEY LOOK GOOD. REAR SEAT HAS THE SEAMS LETTING GO BUT I HAVE A EXCELLENT REPLACEMENT FOR IT. SO ALL THE INTERIOR REALLY NEEDS IS A HEADLINER. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING IT SHOWS ABOUT 152000 MILES IT HAS 7500 MORE MILES THAN THAT SHOWING. THE DRIVING OF THE CAR IS VERY GOOD. THE CAR IS VERY FAST AND HANDLES LIKE A BIG JAG SHOULD. THE 350 ENGINE IS FROM A 1990 CHEVY AS WELL AS THE TRANNY HOWEVER THEY WERE BOTH REBUILT BEFORE INSTALLATION. THIS IS THE TBI (THROTTLE BODY INJECTED ENGINE) . I CURRENTLY DRIVE THE CAR 250 MILES A WEEK. WITH THE WAY IT WAS SET UP WITH ENGINE AND TRANNY AND REAR END RATIO THE CAR AVERAGES 25 MILES PER GALLON CRUISING AT 65 AND 70MPH. AT THESE SPEEDS IT IS RUNNING AT ABOUT 1900 RPM'S IT IS NOT EVEN WORKING HARD. I HAVE A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY INVESTED IN THIS CAR WITH ALL THE COMPONENTS TO GET IT TO THIS STAGE. THE CAR STILL NEEDS THE AIR CONDITIONING FINISHED AS WELL AS THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE CAR WILL TAKE YOU WHEREVER YOU WANT TO GO WITH NO MECHANICAL ISSUES. IT IS JUST THE LOOKS THAT REALLY NEED ATTENTION. THE CAR HAS A ALPINE AM-FM CASSETTE PLAYER WITH A HOOKUP FOR A CD CHANGER. NOW FOR THE LIST OF NEW PARTS IT TOOK TO DO THIS CAR.

MANY PEOPLE TRY TO DO THESE CONVERSION AND THEY END UP SELLING CAR BEFORE COMPLETION SIMPLY BECAUSE OF FRUSTATION AND LACK OF FUNDS. IT IS A VERY COSTLY CONVERSION TO DO.
