The Offer I Could Not Refuse



Dateline - May 8th - My buddy Matt made me an offer I could not refuse. He told me that he was getting rid of his 71 Jaguar XJ6. This is not just any XJ6. It has a Chevy 350 V8 installed! The car ran last summer but has sat for the winter and appears to have a serious short under the hood.

I helped Matt get this car going last summer and knew just how cool this project would be. Top that with the fact that this is the car I've always wanted to build since I restored my 76 Spitfire in 1987, what could I say. "NO"? I think not!
