Hey guys,

I wanted to post this on here and give the BCMer's a crack at it before it goes on craigslist. This is my dad's friends car (this ad was approved by Cryptic.) It's a 1978 Jaguar XJS with a 350 chevy that was bored .30 over making it a 355ci mill that's mated to a th350 transmission. This thing is the REAL DEAL! American power with British Luxury!! I have personally seen/ drooled over this car and if I didn't just pick up a new project I would snap this bad boy up in a heartbeat. The owner of this car has spared no expense when building this car (he even had a custom rear spoiler made from a fiero.) The engine has roughly 10,000 miles on it and everything is good to go. The only thing it needs is a new owner and a nice detailing. I've spoke with my dad's friend and my price (or any of my buddies) can walk away with it for $10,500 ... it will be listed on Craigslist for $11,500.
Please PM me and I can set you up with info to the owner. The car is located in Fox Lake,WI.
Thanks so much guys... I'd hate to see this car leave the area and I know someone on here would appreciate it!

He also has a 1970s Kawasaki 500cc MachIII motorcycle.. this would be a great starter bike/bar hopper. It needs some cosmetic work but runs like a champ... He's looking for $1100.

(Also, I apologize for the bad cell phone pics... they do not do the car justice)75567552755375547555

Thanks RX7... i've never really been a fan of foreign cars with domestic powertrains but this car CHANGED my mind... it is very well done and I hope it stays in the area! I know $10,500 is hard to come up with these days but if someone is looking to pull the trigger on a fast classic car that can handle like nobodies business.. this is the one!! Damnit, I wish I could swing it.. i'd pick this thing up without thinking twice.

Sorry just the one, my phone ran out of memory while I was up there. I may be able to have my uncle (who lives in Fox Lake snap a few) the tank has a few dents and if i remember correctly the odo was 16,xxx miles. I could be wrong. The bike idled nice and I rode it down the road.
