Our XK8s

I know Ford owned Jaguar and shared/borrowed many components from Jaguar so it would not surprise me if this was true. Are the T-Birds the the same chassis as our XKs. If so is anything interchangeable?

What are you looking to interchange?

Nothing in particular. For some reason I thought they where the same car with different sheet metal.

no the Tbird was a weak *** underpowered Ford failure to bring back a nice sports roadster. I mean the body was ok but the interior and lack of power killed it.

The Thunderbird, Lincoln LS, and Jaguar S-Type all share the same chassis....

To make you feel even better, I understand it shares the chassis with the Aston Martin. DB8. Shaken and not stirred. Or was it the other way around... 007
