Default New Jag owner?

So, totally not looking for a Jag, but got bit this weekend by a 1976 xj12 with a 350 chevy conversion. Garage find from an estate sell. Will need some interior restoration, but mechanically sound and solid Arizona body. Very nice running motor and trans.

Took it for a quick drive, hit about 60 mph and all was good.
Excited to go back out and bring it home in a few weeks, or else my dad might not let me take it out of his garage!

Thanks. Thankfully I can leave it registered in AZ, which was the only reason I purchased it. I wouldn't want to try and smog it in CA.
