Description of 1970 Jaguar XJ

1970 Jaguar XJ has been fully gone through and can be driven anywhere! This is a classy car with all the amenities and comfort of a newer car and turns heads everywhere it goes. The car drives straight. rides smooth and begs to be driven on the highway. Body: Body is in very nice shape and rust free. It has been repainted in the original signal red color code. All the panels line up and gaps are even. The rear windshield seal and door seals have been replaced. A new front windshield seal is included with the sale of the car (not installed). It doesn’t leak but should be replaced in the near future. All the chrome and trim is in very nice condition. The paint is very presentable but please do not expect a concours d'elegance show car. Brakes: All of the brakes have been rebuilt and/or replaced. Extensive amount of work has gone into this car. The power brake booster was rebuilt. a new master cylinder was installed as well as all four brake calipers were rebuilt within the last year. New rotors and pads all the way around as well as new front and rear brake hoses. Drivetrain: The car sports a healthy Chevy 350 cu in. mated to a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. The swap was done by the previous owners. New Holley 390cfm carburetor and Electric Radiator Fan. Very reliable. easy to maintain and plenty of power. The speedometer cable is not hooked up but I believe there are adapter kits to go from the Jaguar speedo to the Chevy transmission. The drive shaft and half shafts all have new u-joints. This car sounds great and turns heads! Suspension: The suspension is solid and doesn’t squeak or make any unusual noises. Several bushings have been replaced recently. Steering: The power steering works flawlessly. The car handles great. Interior: The interior is presentable but could use some attention. The upper headliner surround pieces have been nicely re-upholstered in black and they look really nice but never got around to the rest of the interior. The driver seat is still very comfortable but the bottom straps for the passenger seat are worn and it sags in the middle. All of the power windows operate. All of the dash instrumentation panel lights work. Things to note: Since we bought this car the fuel tank on the left side (driver) had not been in use for an unknown amount of time. The car only uses the fuel tank on the right side. Condition of heater and AC are unknown. I have never fiddled with the heater to see if it works. The car seems to have a complete AC system as well but I don’t know what it would take to get it fully operational. The car has a CD player and nice speakers all the way around but I believe the fuse in the CD head unit is blown as it was working previously. If you have any questions. please feel free to message me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I highly advise that if you are local and interested in the car to arrange to see the car. I am being honest about this car and providing information to the extent of my knowledge regarding this car and do not want to mislead anyone. I am not a dealer so please do not waste my time.
