NMNA but I had a hell of a fun time researching to make sure this was indeed the car it claims it is. Auction is april 30 by VanDerBrink - I've bought cars through them before and have zero complaints.

This was on Craigslist years ago for around 1200 in PA. Later it was at Gas Monkey Garage sitting out back, most of the cars there were owned by Dennis Collins under his dealer license. My brother did a show with Richard and has a bunch of pictures of the car. It was rusty then and the plan was to reshell it, but early XJS'are worth saving.

In reply to SV reX :

Olds 403 swap & a shaker "6.6 Litre" scoop through the hood?

Ironically this is one of the very few times Dave Heinz raced what he sold. He pretty much always raced corvettes instead.
