Seller's description:
Beautiful inside and out, this 1975 Jaguar XJ6-C is an elegant hardtop coupe with a hidden secret. The motor is more robust and torque-happy thanks to an upgrade to 350 cubic inches of Chevy power. Plus, there's an overdrive transmission, fully independent suspension, and a leather-lined A/C interior. So you can look great while having the confidence to go the distance in this classic coupe.

The exceptional body panels, polished bumpers, and luster-filed deep green are signs that there have been some solid investments in keep this classic looking elegant. But there's more going on here. The chainmesh grille, modern Jaguar badge, tinted windows, and the design of the 18-inch alloys are all there to update the look with a little modern XJR flair... and that seems fitting considering what's under the hood (more on that in a moment.)

The recovered seats have a fresh look, plush feel, and they go nicely with the gray carpeting and headliner. The door panels, gearstick and dual-spoke steering wheel all have that classic Jaguar look and feel, but that's not the only impression you get. The center section has been updated with nice upgrades like a new air conditioning system, an AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth, and new switches for everything from the power windows to the dual fuel tanks. It's all set in a carbon fiber panel that also houses the full Speedhut gauge package.

Lift the hood for an interesting surprise. This Jaguar has been given a Chevy small block transplant. This is part of a longstanding tradition of swapping out the British motor for hardy American muscle. There's even an Edelbrock upgrade package that includes the ribbed valve covers, air filter, polished intake, and four-barrel carburetor. As you look around, there are all the right supporting components of a quality build, including an EZ Wiring harness, HEI distributor, upgraded pulleys, and a large aluminum radiator w/dual electric fans. This was built to be driven, and that's why you have the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. There are also more worthwhile newer additions, like the newer brake system, KYB shocks, and Firestone Firehawk tires. That all makes for a fine upgrade, and remember, all the best parts of the Jaguar drivetrain are still intact. That means a European-tuned fully-independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. So this car is the perfect blend of a reliable heart and precision legs.

This is an awesome all-around classic for luxury, power, and elegance.
