Sellers description:
JAGUAR XJ-12C. YES a Coupe! in VERY good condition, here is the brief story: 12 years ago I meet a guy who was restoring this car, not sure where he got it. He spent a TON of money getting it ready for paint, when it occurred to him that he better see how the car runs..... Well after putting the body on hold and spending another pile of money trucking it to several "specialists" to get it running properly he lost interest and threw in the towel. I was there to catch that towel. I took the car to my guy, a checkered flag trained super mechanic and by the end of the day we were riding around doing "smokey burn-outs" The car is a sexy rocket. I drove it around for several days and got ready to pick up on the body work, then something happened in my life that put EVERYTHING on hold. I drove the Jag into the spot you see in the pictures and there it sat under roof and untouched for 10+ years. I have to sell the Jag. Thats the story. Here is what you get: the title says 1976, not sure why. I got it with 40,000 miles on it and I put on just shy of 300. The car is ready for paint, well it was 11 years ago, it will need to be re-taped and some minor prep work. This car has NO rust. I have a spare gas tank and as far as I can tell all the trim pieces.
