Ebay item 1/5/13
cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1986-Jaguar-XJ6-Base-Sedan-4-Door-4-2L-New-Mexico-Car-NO ...
Opening bid $1,000, no reserve, no bids 6 days left in auction. 89k miles.

Sellers description:
All original and paint is in excellent condition with none of the usual spider cracks these are known to get. All chrome is like new. Drove like new up-to the time it stopped running but I have put a ton of parts and money into it since, see Pro's and Con's below. Car has no rust except for a few small surface spots by the windshield and rear window. The under carriage is clean no rust. This was a New Mexico car so it has never seen snow and has always has been garaged. The interior is in very good shape except for drivers seat. Passenger seat is so-so and I would replace them both if I was keeping it. The back seat is near-mint. Dash has miner crack but has cover. Door panels are like new as well is the carpet. Trunk area is like new and no rust. This is a very solid car and will not take much to bring it back " meaning at this price and a little time it will be worth at least 4000k to 5500k ".

Pros:
All stated above plus the following new parts: ECU,fuel pump and filter, battery, all relays,fuel injectors, fuel injector wiring harness, fuel hosing, coil, plugs and wire's, distributor cap and rotor, black box amplifier, fuel injector sending unit and air filter.

Cons: After putting all the time and money into all the new parts listed above I find out after the fact that the Mass Air Flow Meter is bad and that the number 5 cylinder developed a bad valve and has no compression. The only other thing wrong is the tires. I am pretty sure they are original and need replaced. Treads good still but badly dry rotted.
