Barn Find Series Iii E Type Coupe. As Is, Or We Will Finish To Your Specs. on 2040-cars
Stockbridge, Georgia, United States
|
The car is solid with no rust. Yes, that's right NO rust! It was stored in a covered shop since the 1980's. We gently got it running and made a list of issues. Many of those are being addressed right now, including the cooling system, where we have installed a new "Cool cat" radiator and restored the cooling fans, header tank and water pump. The brakes, mufflers and other minor things are next on the list. We have not yet driven it to evaluate the trans and rear end, so consider those to be unknowns when you make make an offer. What we do know is the interior is remarkably nice with the exception of typical soft headrests and a passenger door that wont open from the outside. The car was painted silver long before it was stored and the paint remains presentable but needs to be redone. The car was originally dark red. There is some minor rust on the wire wheels but it will clean up with some polish, a shady spot and a case of beer. It is a very neat find and could be a driver for very little money or it could be restored to its original specs and be worth a ton. The selling price will include any work completed at the shop at the time of sale. Work is ongoing but there is still a little more to do. The purchase is as-is, where-is, however once the car is purchased, if the buyer chooses, we can complete the car to any level he chooses form simply a roadworthy driver to a full restoration. In GA old cars are no longer issued titles, so this will be sold on a GA Bill of sale only. These are accepted an all states and you should be able to get a title in your home state. Please check with your DMV for more details. |

Jay Leno's Garage drives Steve McQueen's 1956 Jaguar XKSS
Tue, 27 May 2014Steve McQueen might be the coolest American male of the 20th century. With movies like Bullitt and Le Mans, McQueen established himself as the king of cool of his era, and on the list of actors you would pick for a fantasy racing team - he or Paul Newman are the natural first choices. The latest Jay Leno's Garage video highlights one of McQueen's most special cars - a 1956 Jaguar XKSS.
Just 16 XKSS models were made because a fire at the Jaguar factory halted production. It was meant to be a street version of the company's very successful D-Type racer, with a modified version of its 3.4-liter straight-six-engine and a four-speed manual gearbox. McQueen clearly had an eye for great vehicles. He drove his Jag around Los Angeles years after it was a cutting-edge piece of technology. Since then, it became part of the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA. Autoblog's The List even took a ride in it when the show visited the museum.
The XKSS is one of the pinnacles of automotive design of the '50s, and its association with McQueen makes this example even more extraordinary. Leno is in love with the car from the moment he sees it, and it's hard to argue with him. Between its emphasized curves and raspy exhaust, this is one sexy Jag. Scroll down to get an eyeful and earful from one of McQueen's favorite cars.
Jaguar rolls out 2014 XJ updates
Tue, 20 Aug 2013It may be an uphill battle with Mercedes-Benz having rolled out its all-new S-Class, but in an effort to entice more customers towards its flagship sedan, Jaguar has announced a series of enhancements for the XJ.
A number of upgrades aim to make the long-wheelbase model that much more accommodating, with new airline-style rear seats that recline, massage and optimize the headroom in the back. The rear suspension has also been recalibrated for comfort, and there's a new optional Meridian sound system with a Conversation Assist feature that uses microphones in the headliner to pick up occupants' voices and pipe them through the speakers to support the art of conversation in motion.
The engine range carries over unchanged, but each engine is now mated to an eight-speed automatic with an available stop/start system which Jaguar says takes less time to restart the engine than it takes for the driver to move his or her right foot from brake to gas. Full details in the press release below.
Is the Jaguar XFR-S really worth $17k more than the XFR? [w/poll]
Wed, 22 Jan 2014Adding performance to a car is rarely cheap - whether you're looking to do it yourself or rely on the factory to do it for you. In the case of the new Jaguar XFR-S, the cost differential over an already-impressive (and somewhat expensive) XFR is a stout $16,800. Auto Express recently got a hold of both cars to see whether that price pays off on the track.
For that price, Jaguar gives the XFR-S an extra 40 horsepower and 41 pound-feet of torque - for a total of 550 hp and 502 lb-ft - to go with a stiffer suspension, beefed-up differential and, of course, meaner styling. We don't want to ruin the results of the AE video, but right off the bat, the host says that you can feel the extra power of the XFR-S, but that it's not a "night-and-day difference."
Scroll down to see what happens when two high-powered Jags go head-to-head on a track. And then be sure to let us know whether or not you think the added money is worth it for the XFR-S in the completely informal poll below.
