Hello
Right now I have a chance to pick up a 85 Jaguar XJS HE for a song. It's at a local jag dealer where it's been sitting in their upper level storage place covered in dust for about 3 years. It doesn't run because they've taken a few parts out of the engine compartment (distributors I was told) but evidently, or according to them, it ran just fine when they parked it there. When we tried to start the car, it did spin just fine just wouldn't fire. The body is straight with no rust, the interior is all there but a few pieces like the gauge cluster and radio are sitting in the back seat, leather has no tears and the wood has a few cracks. Car has 80,000 miles on it. I wasn't really in the market for an XJS per se, just came across this and thought it could be a fun project. Does $500-1000 dollars seem like a good offer for this car, and if so would it take a lot of work/money to bring it around? Thoughts?
Thanks!
