62 Jaguar MK2 and 83 VW Rabbit, original owner, 80k

[Car Whore]

Came across a couple of neat older cars-

My parent's neighbor put his 83 Rabbit 4dr up for sale the other day in his yard. It's really clean, only 85k on it, manual, red on red. He's asking $3500 firm.

I also just came across a really cool 62 Jaguar MK2 sedan in Freeport. It needs a restoration, but it says it runs. Says $4500/bo on it. Doesn't look very rusty at all!

Pics coming for both.

Wow that rabbit must be super clean. Does it have anything done to it?

is de Jag LHD or RHD?

 

[Car Whore]

Here's the Rabbit. It's bone-stock-

The Jag is LHD and it's a column shift. Not sure if it's manual or auto. Forgot to look for the clutch pedal.....

I can't figure out where that VW is by the pics. What street?

No, I'm not gonna get the rabbit over a subaru

That rabbit is screaming for a vr6.

oh man..... little off topic but...

that VW reminds me of the rabbit a high school teacher of mine used to have. not a very well liked teacher. all the shop students used up pick the car up and turn it sideways in the parking spot. then she would be stuck there between 2 cars.

3500 is probably what it cost new...

I would throw a 1.8t in that thing...

Jaguar pics! It's got some rust, but it doesn't appear to be that bad. The floors look really solid. Says it runs, and it looks like it's all there. It's on Cove Road in South Freeport and the number is on the FS sign picture-

how many pedals does it have?

 

[Car Whore]

how many pedals does it have?

I didn't even bother to check, but I DID notice that there looks to be a hole in the tunnel between the seats, like a shifter might have come out of it.....so I'm guessing it's a manual. I couldn't see very well underneath, but I'm pretty sure the tranny is still there.

Jag appears to have an auto swapped in...you can see the auto gear indicator on top of steering column

hmmm, now that I finally sold my GC RS (today, yaaay!), this is a very intriguing development...

gaahh, pleez somebody stop me before I buy again!!!

Looks as though it got kind of warm over the carb as well.

 

[TheNailman]

think of the retro rally beast that could be made out of either of these two cars
