The Jaguar XJ was one of the last Jag saloons to have design input from the man known as Mr Jaguar, Sir William Lyons. The series I was launched in 1968 and produced through 1973 and the only thing stopping you from driving one every day is the cost of maintenance of the Jag inline-6 or V12....but not today.

Find this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for sale in Mountain View, CA for $9,800 via craigslist. Tip from Kaibeezy.

In all seriousness, the XJ is a strikingly handsome sedan and looks regal in this shade of crème fraîche with just a hint of hollandaise sauce. Just looking at it makes me hungry. What is going on with those crazy cow horn shaped exhaust exits?

Pop the bonnet and find a 350 cubic inch American V8; a carburetted and chromed cap pistol ready to fire up and launch this creamy boat like a sprinter off the blocks.

The inside reveals a spindly little smokie on a toothpick automatic transmission shifter that you will shift with two fingers, pinky extended.

Wow that's pretty awesome. I've actually been interested in owning a Jaguar. Getting one with a reliable power plant would be a pretty smart move, lol.

CP, but still nice. A Jagrolet is still very high on my wishlist of "weekend" cars.

ROadkill once again holds the answer here - stick a blower on it.

I have decided to do the same but with a Ford 302 and a 5 speed to my W126 Benz. I'm tired of messing with the Jetronic fuel injection.
