Description of 1987 Jaguar XJ-Series XJ6 |
I am selling my 1987 Jaguar XJ6 sunroof sedan. I purchased the car last fall from a friend. He purchased the car in the early 1993. He was the second owner. It was driven regularly until the late ’90’s. He chose not to sell it for sentimental reasons and it sat in his garage for the next 21 years without being driven. It had no mechanical problems when it was parked. It has always been garaged. He made the decision to sell as they needed the garage space. I purchased it “as is†not running. I changed the oil and filter then lubed the cylinders. Unfortunately the engine was stuck from sitting. I was still optimistic it cold be freed. I filled each cylinder with a mix of Marvel Mystery Oil and Techron. This combination had been successful for me several times through the decades. After a couple of weeks I removed the fan and fan shroud and placed a socket on the crank pulley and with a half inch breaker bar. No luck breaking it loose. In addition, I did drain the gas tanks and the gas was surprisingly clear and did not smell bad. There was no rust in the fuel. I unbolted the starter to confirm it was not jammed. After 5 months it is still stuck and I’m ready to move the project on. I have not placed the parts back on the car but they are all there including hardware. Starter is still unbolted.If you know a simple fix that is unique to these cars, I'll be happy for you. It would be nice to see the car back on the road. The odometer is at 145,994. I believe that to be original. The car is remarkably clean. The car was driven until the day it was parked over 20 years ago. Body Drivetrain Straight 6. Clean but stuck. Automatic. Fresh oil and filter. Not much more to say. I believe the after market wire wheels are Dayton. One is damaged and has broken spokes.
General This is a tough and disappointing situation. It’s a very pretty original car with no previous crash damage. It’s too good to part but too expensive for me to fix. I’m done trying to figure out what to do. I am not an expert so ask questions.I can take more photos if needed. Terms of the sale I will provide a good Kansas clear non highway title. I request payment through Pay Pal within 48 hours of purchase. Thanks for your interest. |
