Sellers description:
Jaguar XJC series 2 classic only 2877 built in 1977 you may not see another one come up for sale this year . It has a 350 Chevy , 4 barrel carb ,aluminum intake and 350 turbo transmission. Only 45k since the conversion .Original wheels and a NARDI steering wheel . The conversion cost over 7k. Recent work... brand new gas tank, radiator and a rebuilt carb . With the Chevy conversion, you can drive it all day and everyday. I use it 3 time a week to commute to and from work. I have a lot of paperwork on the history of the car. It is in great shape for being a 36 yrs old vehicle. It does need some work on the paint and interior.

Sellers description:
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 has been replaced and the 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.

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. New Holley 390cfm carburetor. 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.

Interior: The interior is presentable but could use some attention. I had started to reupholster the upper headliner surround pieces 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 as well but I don't think it works. 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.
