oops 1995

 

I love buying insurance auction cars. All of my Jags have come from them. This one looks nice but a.) you can't see the line they are supposed to put as to where the water came up to and b.) I'll buy them from pics only UNLESS they are from NY/New England area without looking at the bottom for rust. No way no how. Everything else can be fixed.

 

Carpets/interior doesn't look wet in pix but I agree. Great parts donor, terrifying to think of an xj12 on wire wheels!
I'm currently watching a 94 6.0 xjs on newark copart currently at 10 bucks.

Now that is representative of what I buy. That one is close to me and the BIN price is right. Rebuilt Salvage title means little to me. Only reason it matters is if you are trying to fix it to resell on BAT or to a dealer or something. Wouldn't do any of that. Alas, I currently have enough auction jag projects I need to start getting them finished. I should be finished with my garage remodel by the end of the weekend, then it's on.

 

The car in Newburgh NY is appealing as a donor to my 1976 XJ12C. Convert it to the Mobeck stand alone engine management and a five speed…

what’s a guess for selling price?

 

That's exactly why I was looking as that car, as an engine donor for my coupe. Getting a 95-96 v12 xjs is arguably better as everything swaps over, but you lose a few horsepower. The other issue is high mileage engines. You're into an engine rebuild for a coupe, but then you can soup it up a bit assuming the wear just needs the usual replacements.
AII requires annual fee, they ladle on extra fees when you buy and the auction results are hidden unless you're a member. I'd predict around $500 + all the fees...

 

I see the XJ12 sold. Did you buy it?

 

Not me, I'm on the other coast....

While I'm typing though buying complete cars for parts is more and more appealing as picknpull and other yards have got very expensive.

 

I have a full parts donor for my XJL. This is the first time I have done this and I am LOVING it so far.
