Sellers description:
1974 Jaguar XJ 12 L. This car is being sold for the grandson of the previous owner/ restorer. The car was nicely restored with a new Bartlet interior and repainted in the original navy blue in the early 90's. At that time the owner chose to replace the engine instead of rebuilding the V-12. He contacted Suncoast Conversions and swapped a small block Chevy and a TH400 transmission. The car had been in storage for some time and the current owner contacted me to wake her up and sell her. Upon arrival to the barn, I saw a nicely restored but poorly stored vehicle. I went thru the brakes, fuel system and fixed a few interior bits.
Now currently registered, inspected and driving in Vermont, a non-title state. The paint is OK but has been chipped and dinged here and there. Trunk is really nice, solid with all panels present. The fuel system was typically joined to run as one, as solenoids for the switch system had failed. All wiring has been left and could be restored back to original. Tanks are in good shape and appear to have been replaced during resto. The car is structurly sound, with a bit a rust on rockers and lower fenders begining to show thru. Floors are good with some rust at the drivers heels and underside front corner of the LH rocker/fender. All glass is very good, all trim is very good. Interior presents nice with a pro installed kit. No critter/ musty smell. Bumpers and wheels have a bit of pitting. Most everything works as new except for the gas gauge. All lights, side markers, blinkers and flashers work. Front windows go up and down fine, rears not so much...Heat and AC are OK but will need work.
