26,062 MILES
ON EBAY 2007
SELLER WRITES:


UP FOR SALE IS MY 1976 JAGUAR XJS WITH ONLY 26062 ORIGINAL MILES. MANUFACTURED IN 1975 WHICH IS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE XJS. HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PIECE OF JAGUAR HISTORY AND NOW IT HAS A RELIABLE AND INEXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN CHEVROLET 350 ENGINE IN IT. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS A GM 400 TURBO ANYWAY. THE ORIGINAL V-12 ENGINE OVERHEATED AND RUINED WITH ONLY 19857 MILES ON IT. I FOUND IT AT A LOCAL BRITISH CAR SPECIALIST'S SHOP WHERE IT HAS BEEN SETTING INDOORS FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS. THAT IS WHY THE MILEAGE IS SO LOW AND DOCUMENTED. WHEN I PURCHASED IT HAD NO ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WITH IT AND BELOW IS WHAT I HAVE DONE AND ADDED TO THIS CAR.

OVERALL CONDITION OF THIS CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONSIDERING IT IS 31 YEARS OLD. THE INTERIOR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE WIPERS, HEADLIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, AIR CONDITIONER, HEATER, AND FANS, WORK. IT HAS GOOD ENGINE OIL PRESSURE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY. IT DRIVES WONDERFULLY AND HAS VERY STRONG ACCELERATION WITH ALLOT OF POWER. EVEN THE INERTIA SAFETY SWITCH IS STILL FUNTIONAL. THIS IS A DRIVE-ABLE AUTOMOBILE THAT JUST NEEDS A LITTLE TLC.

I HAVE WELL OVER $30,000.00 IN PARTS AND LABOR INVESTED IN THIS CAR AND THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION. I WOULD HAVE INCLUDED UNDER CARRIAGE PICTURES IN THIS AUCTION, BUT I HAVE NO INSURANCE OR TAG FOR IT AND CAN NOT DRIVE IT TO WHERE A CAR LIFT IS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK.

INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION IS A 1979 JAGUAR XJS PARTS CAR WITH FLORIDA TITLE. BUYER DOES NOT HAVE TO EXCEPT THE PARTS CAR SO CONSIDER IT FREE IN THIS SALE. BY NOT EXCEPTING IT WILL NOT CHANGE THE SELLING PRICE OF THE 1976 XJS. ALSO INCLUDED IS A FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL, OWNERS MANUAL, AND A DELL LAPTOP COMPUTER WITH CALMAP SOFTWARE TO PROGRAM THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM AND DISTRIBUTOR.
