ok, so i have found 2 1959 jags in a barn in another state. besides my 911 and some old t-birds (63 and 65) i do love my jags. we have had prob a dozen XJ6's and a few XJS's and a nice 94 XJ12, but nothing old. I have worked on them and don't mind it, don't really enjoy it much but it can be done.
my issue is deciding weather or not its worth going to get these 2 and starting a project to make one nice running one. One is black and has a title, and the other is red and does not ( will be used for the motor and trans and as a parts car) I have seen only 4 pics and the body's look straight and decent, but beyond that don't know 2 much.
Lets say i can get these 2 for less than $2500 , and i know its gona cost prob 500-1000 to get them back to Austin, TX.
Another plus is that i have a friend that is wanting to go 50/50 on this project, and he has a shop and all the tools and is way more in to turning wrenches than I. We talked about it and both think that as long as rust has not killed them, it would be fun and worth it. The black one would be taken down pretty far and have all the major systems addressed as need be.
Questions:
Any one in to these things??
Any idea what a nice fresh Mk1 would be worth?
Would you tackle this??
