Willow Green 1972 XJ6 No reserve. I??™ve owned this car 29 years, but it??™s time to sell and workon other Jaguar projects.Using other Jaguar models, many modifications have been done to improve the power, handlingand braking. The car has triple TypeSU??™s, Grand Tourismo fast road cams (Lou put them in himself), GM T700transmission (John??™s Cars Quartbreed conversion), 4.09 differential, frontsuspension and steering rack from S3 XJ12 (springs lowered), front and rearanti-roll bars, S3 pot brakes, inch headlights, electronic ignition andelectric rad fan. A complete blue 1972 parts car (not running), is available. The car is plated and insured, as it has been during thelast 29 summers. Peeling clear coat has prompted this sale. It was questionof spending on paint job to keep it, or sell. If was to paint the car, Iwould install the new rear valence andnew gas tank cover panels I??™ve collected, as well as swap on mint useddriver??™s side front fender, and remove the windscreens; so lot of work. Thesenew and used panels are available for $500, or we can discuss it. The seats are very poor, but the seats in the blue parts carare very good with no holes or pulled stitching and soft leather. I operate Leatherique Canada (E Bay will not allow me to add my siteaddress), and planned to re-dye these to Suede Green, and swap them in. I??™llsupply dye and the blue seats shown,with this sale. I did the headliner years ago, but the rear-most panel won??™tstay up. I??™ve painted this car twice. The first time was bare metaljob using epoxy primer. The second was after crushing the driver??™s fenderagainst guard rail. The car had sills put in before owned it. Floors andunder-body are good. I??™ve used rust proofing often over the years. The engine starts and runs well, has 125 Lbs compression onall cylinders. I??™ve removed the AC components, but have the parts. wantedclean and simple. The electric fan makes the engine bay clean, and beltchange snap! The fan runs after shut down until the engine??™s cool. The frontexhaust pipe is stainless. Acceleration is much quicker than stock with the low gearingof the speed overdrive transmission coupled with the 4.09 diff. It willactually spin the tires. The transmission locks up in the and 4th,and lock up is manually controlled with red switch on the shifter base: seepictures. It??™s great fun to shift manually, and try all ratios. The car pullshard in 3rd with the lock up engaged, from 50-80 MPH. The wire to the transmission that controlsthe lock up broke loose just discovered, you can see the wire hanging in oneof the under shots. Access is difficult, above the exhaust, so didn??™t repairit today, but assure you it??™s working when connected. The transmission does hit the tunnel on hardacceleration and requires some hammering in that area. The prop shaft also hasa slight wine. Overall the car is not as refined as stock, but goes muchbetter. On club track day it was as fast as an type around the track. Thissurprised many there, as they assumed my car would be the slowest of the day.The quicker steering and Moto Lita wheel help. The tires have 50 miles on them. Only one fuel tank works at the moment. The front windshield was replaced once and is stillexcellent. have new front and rear screen rubbers too. The rear hand brake calipers have been removed, but havethem. So here??™s good project car, or buy it for the rare parts. The car can be driven home. live near NiagaraFalls/Buffalo. I??™m SURE anAmerican person can simply drive across the border with receipt. But ifhaving the car shipped, broker is needed. TFX International do this near me. E Mail for more pictures.
