Default 1994 XJ12 Project - Make Me an Offer

Hi All -


Well, the time has come for me to admit that I got in over my head undertaking an XJ12 as a project car, without the time, tools, nor an appropriate place to work on it.


So, I hope there is somebody out there that can benefit from my poor judgment, and who is interested in completing the work I started on the car.


Here's the situation. I started replacing some front suspension bits, and got stalled. So that car has been gathering pine needles and moss in my driveway for over a year.


It was running and driving when I parked it to work on it, and hasn't moved since. It needs the front suspension finished, new brake lines, brake booster replaced to be safe to drive. The new parts will go with the car.


Needs the under-dash AC unit replaced, but that only impacts the AC, not the heat or defroster.


Body and interior just need to be cleaned - both are in great shape.


If you're interested in saving this now-forlorn car, send me an email.


Keep in mind that you need a trailer to pick it up, and either a winch to get it onto the trailer, or about 10 NFL linemen to push the car onto the trailer.


Thanks - Spencer

Default How many miles are on the chassis???

How many miles on the car?

Are you in a position to get it in rolling shape?

I'll check the mileage and get back to you.


Honestly, I'm pretty frustrated with it, so I'd prefer to just pass it on to the next owner with no further time invested by me.

Default What I meant by rolling shape

What I meant was are you in a position to get the front suspension back together and wheels on it so it could be rolled onto a flatbed or trailer??? Rolling and steering- that's the minimum to getting the car transported....

Sorry for the delay in responding. Yes, should take me only a few minutes to put the steering linkage back together and the wheel back on, so it will be a rolling vehicle. Not drivable (still without brakes), but all the required brake parts are in the trunk - Teflon lines, pads, rotors, booster.


Battery is dead, but my recollection of mileage is high 70's.
