Many times I have herd ( well he used a wreck so at least he didn’t cut up a good one ) you guys need to figurative out the way you want it, if he patched up a rollover you’d be complaining that he’s conning someone with a POS scrap jag. The engine is ahead of the rear wheel so this car should be well balanced, the wide stance of the back wheels would offer the kind of stability that you see on many super cars that are around. His work looks very well done and thought out. Here’s the thing this guy started off with a rollover wreck, and turned it into a wild custom. I bet there are no more than a few of you that would have the skill or ambition to be able to pull off a build like this. I can’t believe how many wannabe ( want to be ) arm chair engineers ther are out there on this site. For once, do you think this Jag would have died a more dignified death in a junkyard? I’m thinking you could come up with some clever names for the superhero or the car, perhaps the “Red Peril”? At the very least, here’s an opportunity for readers to make disparaging remarks.
#CHIP FOOSE JAGUAR XKE TV#
Perhaps it needs a superhero or super villain and its own TV show. Maybe there’s someone out there, way out there, who loves, or at least likes, the styling. This just might be a great driving car (that is cool to drive but not to be seen driving?). Even the wing is metal, which had to have taken some great skill to shape. It looks puzzling from here, but well constructed. Here’s what’s under the bonnet, mostly batteries, fuel, and radiator. It looks nicely sorted but has to make for some interesting handling behaviors. Here is the engine mounted to the Cadillac front end mated to the Cadillac transmission. Those are Datsun 240Z seats, if you wondering. The interior appears well done if not in many people’s taste. The custom bodywork, including the wing, is all metal and appears well crafted.
And in the rear, it has a 1974 Cadillac front wheel drive setup with a Chevy 350 mated to the Cadillac transmission (got all that?).
And yes, those are Ford Taraus headlights. Thanks TJ for the find and for your description! This is what one person did with a rolled XKE 2+2. It’s listed on eBay where the bidding is over $7,300 but the reserve has not been met. When added to both the Classic and GT specification the Sport retains the 'Grand Touring' capability but further enhances capability, road holding, change of direction and braking performance.īuilding on the Sport specification the SuperSport combines the character of the original E-Type with the capabilities of a modern supercar.First, yes, this is neither a barn find nor a survivor, but this “Confusing, awesome, terrible” listing as TJ described it, is just too, uh, something to pass up. In conjunction with the Classic package the GT enhancements significantly improve the driving dynamics of the Jaguar E-Type. Offers enhanced reliability, durability and usability whilst adhering as faithfully as possible to the specification & feel of the original E-Type. We'll work with you and advise throughout the whole process. Remember of course that you have the option to specify a fully bespoke set of upgrades. Exclusively for E-Types purchased from Eagle, these upgrades have been carefully tailored into a group of packages that will suit different uses and driving styles.
