add a newer jag v8/v12 or some other british bits and it'll make for a great german/uk showdown against the wartburg.

It's been three weeks, the guy finally called me. He got an offer for $1000. Am I supposed to top that or something?

Pass.

Maybe he's bluffing. You could make a "fall back" offer of $500.

Although it probably is worth a grand to some Jag nut.

In the message he left on my phone, he says it's a V-6.

Give him an offer of $500 bucks and a date that your offer expires (in a week or two). I bet he'll call you one day before that date.

Some one needs to forward this to Andy Nelson! I can see a 10 second BBC powered Jag at the 2011 challenge already

'75 XJ-6 Engine and Trans for $350

I was just at this shop yesterday looking at their customers cars sitting out side. (They had a 288 GTO sitting inside, too. The onwer's real Cobra was not there, however...) http://www.zeroto60garage.com/

Too much like work; I'll bet I can slip that body over a Monty chassis.

You'll need to log in to post.
