Seller's description:
Purchased in 2001, I drove this XJ6 Coupe for several years before spinning a bearing in the bottom end. I disassembled the engine had the block and heads machined and then had to let it sit while my 3 children went thru their college years. During that time, I saw an article on the XJ6 Coupe that detailed its evolution from the 1973 prototype thru the last ones in 1977. I was so impressed by the original prototype I decide to make a copy of it. I purchase a 1973 XJ6 (4 door/engine was shot) out of California in 2015 and pulled off all the relevant body pieces to make the swap. Three years later I had the car you see in the following pictures.

Interior, carpet, differential and drive line parts are original. Walnut dash is immaculate. Transmission shifts solidly. Car is solid driver. Winner of many local car shows.
Minor problems include a speedometer not working. Air conditioning does not blow cold, probably has a leak somewhere. Have not chased it down.
