Hey folks, I can't believe I'm about to purchase my 1st Jaguar!

I fell in love with the XJCs for years now, but have always been a Mopar Musclecar freak.

Well...I decided to peruse E-bay just for the heck of it, and whaddya know, the car I want is up for sale...NEAR ME!

'76 Jaguar XJ12c w/a Chev V8 conversion (yes, I know that's sacrilege to you purists). I went to go look at it and drive it before bidding.

Looks to be in GREAT shape and I get to pick it up this Saturday!

At any rate, here she is:

Not a bad price IMHO. Then again, I haven't been following the price of these lately as I've been immersed in restoring my '70 DOdge Challenger convertible that I've owned for almost 20 years.

I first saw an XJC maybe 15-16 years ago at a Safeway parking lot and just couldn't believe the lines on that car! Would never forget it. Now I got one! Real soon that is.
