Craigslist lust of the day.

V12 xj coupe

One owner 1975 Jaguar XJC / XJ12C
Purchased from the son of the late / original owner who bought it new in Ventura, Ca.
Original interior is near perfect with exception of headliner and dash (needing refinishing).
The original V12 (matching numbers) is still in the engine bay.

Original owner was rebuilding the engine and passed away during the rebuild. Missing top end of the engine. Transmission still in tact. 

Zero rust with exception of a couple of small bubbles above the rear wheel wells. NO RUST anywhere else. Perfect for light restoration or an LS swap since it won't requre smog.

All books and maintenance records included. Chrome is nearly perfect with a buff. 

Roughly 800 made of this model -making it extremely rare. The values have been on the rise lately -including one with an LS swap that sold for $103,000. On Bringatrailer.

I bought it with intentions to restore but decided to finish another -plus buying a vacation home.

I am taking a small loss on this to get it out of my warehouse. The price is FIRM. Do not try and negotiate as I will ask you to leave if you do.

That Jag is interesting.  I have never seen one.  Nice.

What autocross class would this fall into?

This 1923 Street Legal Ford Roadster was custom made by professional Sprint Car builder Chuck Delu in the early 1980s. The car recently completed a full restoration. This includes being completely rewired. On top of this, all lights, brakes, plugs, and the battery were replaced. Also, the gas tank and the carburetor were cleaned along with many other updates. The car runs like new, powered by Mazda rotary engine.

Oh jeez. I would have happily paid that. Even plus a grand to ship it to me. What a car. 

Too Bad it's not legal here

Han Solo once said of the Millennium Falcon, "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid...", and the same is true of this classic Saab 900 SPG. While it may not do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, this fine example of Swedish engineering will send you into fits of pure and unbridled joy every time you get behind the wheel. The transmission shifts smoother than a fresh jar o' Skippy, the turbo spools up like a jet turbine, and the suspension will keep you firmly planted as whip through corners like the unholy love-child of Chuck Yeager and Ayrton Senna. Aero wheels and hatchback louvers give a nod to this machine's rally heritage, and the raspy jungle-cat roar of the exhaust serves as a reminder that you are indeed piloting a sports car. Now, on the rare occasion that you find yourself tired of the glorious purr of the exhaust, you can drown it out with a stereo that bumps hard enough to fry your grand-pappy's hearing aids. This vehicle is also a fantastic means of transportation for the Pacific Northwest. It plows through ice and snow like a sherpa on cocaine, and the heater will roast you medium rare if you get too close. The rear seats fold down, providing enough room to haul a tricycle, a family of badgers, an MG-42 machine gun with 5,000 rounds, and three boxes of General Tso's chicken takeout. I will also include a pint of fresh badger's milk with the sale. Obviously, this car is damn near 30 years old, and it is far from perfect, but it's reliable and it's not the least bit boring. You could certainly take 3,000 of your hardest-earned dollars and buy a Toyota Camry or a Honda Civic... But then you'd be a simpleton and a fool. Do yourself a favor and purchase this bold badger of a machine, your future self will thank you.

and now for the evil opposite of the previous post:

dune buggy?

I'm a sucker for hide away headlights and aircraft carrier sized hoods.

i had a customer who bought one of these new as a surprise for his wife.  He parked it in the circular driveway in front of the house, brought her to the door, and said "Honey, here's your new car!"  At that point the Jag burst into flames from a leaking fuel system and burned to the ground.  Might have saved him some money in the long run.

Looks like a pretty good price on that MS6. Too bad I'm not in the market either.
