1962 jaguar mk2 sedan. No motor or transmission. Good project car. No rust.
That thing gives me butterflies, but I know better than to fall for that.

and me with an 86k mile 7mge in my shed.
I'd put a 4.2 jag in there. One of the all time greatest engines. Hard part would be finding a manual trans. Most are e-type trans with the crazy prices to match.
In reply to hobiercr :
I have a good trans for that engine and love a good MkII.
The awful things I would do to that would give Frenchy a stroke .
I've been thinking about one of these as a restomod for kid taxi duty...
I've got an engine and transmission for that located in central Virginia.
The right one of those could make me go back on the promise to never do another project again.
In reply to NOHOME :
Looking at that I don't think you could get any closer to right than it.
In reply to Stampie :
Agreed. Thank God then that I live on the wrong side of the iron curtain.
It would include a Pontiac GTO under the skin when it was done.
*unintelligible noises*
Gah!
It makes me think about that thing from the Discworld books involving sort of magical teleportation but you had to balance the masses. If only I could fling my Ranchero to the end of the country that wants it in exchange for moving this closer.
I know they're not *that* scarce, but the apparent cleanness, and the cheapness brought on by missing the parts I want to swap out anyhow... Bah!
Glad that is too far away, really cheap for what appears to be pretty solid for the price.
So what can be slipped between those frame rails?
Looks like it's gone. I probably would have tried for it. I had two of these plus a parts car in the early 80s' and never had them streetably running. I'd stand a better chance now with a garage/workshop and a more realistic budget.
I think the easy button for an engine swap is a Chev V6, but I'd rather have the Jaguar 6, possibly with aftermarket electronics and fuel injection.
Curious - what were they asking for it? The post is down.
$2500
