Default New Member with 74 XJ12 w/350 Chevy

Hello Jagalicious friends,

Picked up a classic cat with a heart transplant this week for an obscenely low price (barely 4 figures...). It needed a whopping $37 in brake lines and two hours of work in the driveway to be running again. I just returned home from a cruise down San Diego's beachfront, where the car got a bunch of looks and two thumbs up! Very fun.

The car is black with a dark blue interior but black seats that have been transplanted from some other Jaguar. The Chevy engine is very powerful, and sounds mean.

I am an avid car builder and racer. I run vintage Datsun 240Z's in various racing series and in exhibition events. Looking forward to getting to know my car.

David in San Diego

Fellow San Diegan, I'll keep an eye out for that car (and an ear out for the 350 sound).

I am a hot rodder through and through! I own muscle cars GTO's, and I love to see vintage power with new cars, newer cars, and different makes and models from those powerplants.

See you on the forum and welcome!
