The asking price seems SHOCKINGLY low for what's included here. Am I missing something?

Holy Moly!

I love everything but the shift boot.

You're missing the fact that it's a non-running modified Jaguar that's nearly 40 years old.

But it's soooo pretty... I have an unhealthy affection jaguars.

. Drooling everywhere here.

This. I saw non-running and immediately feared for my life.

Eh, what could go wrong?

Possible questionable modifications that will cost more to fix?

Forgot the

I fly into to MKE in 4 weeks, I wonder if I could drive this thing home... to FL.

Needs tlc= it's berkeleyed

Yeah, just what anyone needs, a Berkleyed jag v12

How long will that price be firm? Nice project for LS1 when it drops under Challenge $.

I bought a V12 Jag for $300.....one of the best deals in my life:

yeah, that ad reads to me:

Hi, I am the 2nd or 3rd owner since this car was built, so I know absolutely nothing about the mods. I bought it cuz it looks awesome. I know just enough to know that an 'ignition issue' sounds easy to fix (the previous owner told me that and I thought it would be an easy fix). Finally, I paid $3600 for it so I know that is what it is worth. I know what I have.

In reply to Enyar:

THATS the one you want.

This post is mean... I looked at the pictures first and started reading the ad. I'm thinking "WOW, how is this not sold already, I might be going to Milwaukee to drive this home!" then I get to:

Currently not running due to lack of ignition spark and rear suspension drag link issues.

Exactly! I will say that that engine looks like yuuuummmm, though. (Still hate the thought of dealing with a jag v12 that's busted)

If you could get it to run, I wonder how long it would take to get the webers tuned? I see mucho denero spent on dyno time.

BTW this has GRM project car written all over it.
