Vehicle Description
If you stopped on this one because you were curious about a shining
silver 1999 Jaguar XK8 at an affordable price, then you're in for a
big surprise. Because under the hood, this aggressive cat is
wearing a bow tie. That's because this luxury machine is now
running with extra power thanks to a LS V8.
The first impression is worth the price alone. An investment in a
metallic gray borrowed from Mercedes is truly a standout. It adds
extra flash to the usually subtle English bodywork. Of course, it
helps that this evolved car hugs the ground closer thanks to a full
body kit that as professionally applied before the slippery
paintwork was added. We know you love the little nod to the
Corvette Z06 with the vents just behind the door. The final part to
this shining package are the factory 17-inch alloys that are still
mirror-like. With this much brightness in the total packaging,
we're glad the newer canvas top retains a deep black appearance -
after all, it's a nice reminder of this car's dark side.
This might be slick on the outside, and a brute under the hood, but
it's pure Jaguar luxury inside. You get all the best in modern
comfort, including automatic climate control, power tilt steering
wheel, power steering, power windows, power locks, cruise control,
dual airbags, and power seats. Plus, a power top and power windows
means you never have to leave the driver's seat when you want to
open this one up to the world. There's even an upgraded Pioneer
AM/FM/CD stereo with all the latest features, including a USB input
and Bluetooth with hands free mic.
When you look under the hood, it seems like the fuel-injected LS
motor always belonged there. The installation was clean, and the
all-black engine bay looks attractive and unassuming. But in
reality, that V8 swap represents around a 20% increase in power.
And this cat tells the world all about it with its extra exhaust
growl. Plus, to make sure that all this extra horsepower and torque
is handled correctly, a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission was
installed, too. What did not need improving was the ride. The
European engineered fully-independent suspension knows exactly how
to enjoy the back roads and cruise in grand touring comfort. Add in
four-wheel disc brakes, ABS, and modern performance tires, and
you've got the best of everything in one very unique package.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and a huge list of
improvements invested in this custom Jaguar. This is the perfect
balance of power and poise, so at this price, you know you need to
pounce on this Jag. Call now!
