Vehicle Description
Sleek and sporty on the outside, absolutely luxurious with leather
and A/C on the inside, and now this also has hardy Chevy V8 power.
So this 1983 Jaguar XJS is a terrific total package that's being
offered for an irresistible price.
The first impression this one shows off its classic elegance. After
all, the long hood, low-slung body, and flying buttress rear are
part of the classic European grand touring experience. The bodywork
looks nice, and everything is well-respected, right down to the
classic Jaguar medallion on the hood. The silver paint has a
timeless sense of style, and so the whole coupe has that ideal look
of old-world luxury with just the right amount of aged-in style.
Like an aristocrat's tweed driving cap. And there's just something
special about the pure elegance of the golden lattice alloy
wheels.
The XJS was built to be a pure grand touring machine, and so
there's plenty of room to get comfortable in the front bucket
seats. The blue leather has a tasteful style, and the armrest
center console is quite handy. There are good features like a power
driver's window (the passenger side will need servicing), power
steering, and air conditioning. There is room for you to make
improvements if you so desire, and the value price certainly leaves
room in your budget for that. But what we love is how the whole
setup remains very stock Jaguar. So no one had to do any crude
revisions when making the upgrade in the engine bay.
It will be fun to tilt the hood forward and show off the American
heart in this very British classic. There has been a longstanding
tradition of dropping Chevy V8s in Jags. In fact, Jaguar's V12
motor was already accepting GM's stout TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission. So now you have a great American engine and trans
combo. The 350 cubic-inch V8 has a classic Rochester four-barrel
carburetor set up right now to deliver the kind of smooth driving
experience you want in an XJS. Of course we also all know how hardy
these are and all the great upgrades available. So we bet there are
plenty of you plotting a pretty cool sleeper. And no matter how you
choose to enjoy this, it's an appealing driver because all the best
parts of the Jaguar are still intact. That means a European-tuned
fully-independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes.
This coupe is the ideal blend of a reliable heart and precision
legs. So at a price like this, you know you have to act quickly to
catch the special cat. Call today!!!
