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.
I've got a head all cleaned up that fits that 6cyl motor with twin solex carbs too! Just needs the valves and seats cut. I't been hot tanked blead blasted ect. Was on e-bay over 1 year....could not even get $150 for it.. old jag = don't waste your time.
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/
