Is his name really "Danney" or did he get that wrong as well?

Up for sale is my 1988 Jaguar XJS V-12 with the 5.3 liter motor. Paint is a 7/10 as it is faiding in some places. New Pirelli P4000 tires. Ran well untill i lost the keys about three months ago. Once it got up to temp the cad converter would smoke so there is probibly a hole in it. I've been looking for a way to hot wire it so i can get it running again. The Title has been signed over in my name and noterized, I can send it into Raligh and get it back to sign over to the buyer if you need it. I drove it up and down my dead end street several times a week to make sure everything stayed lubricated and it never stalled, or stopped running. Fresh oil, oil filter, fuel fiter, 6 new spark plugs. It would be a good canidate for the Chevy/Ford V-8 swap, a gold mine of good parts, or a great project car. I am trying to get a fraction of what i have invested in this car out of it because it would kill me to see it sit outside and get snowed on this winter. The price is $2500 OBO,so thats just a starting point, so dont be shy, send me an offer. I would also trade the Jag for any interesting car, ie other Jags, BMW, Alfa, Triumph, but I am really looking for a Porsche, preferably a 928. If its in good enough condition I will throw in my 1985 944. Thanks for looking, I will try to anwer any questions you have. 828-891-9815 or 828-489-6266 If one dosnt work try the other. I can send more pics.

It's like this guy is trying to remake Top Gear challenges. Though I'll admit, I am tempted for reasons I cannot explain.

Ha, I work on these evey other day, except ours are Vactor Combo-Jets on 6 axle Sterling chassis. Can't say I've ever seen any on CL before!

In case anyone was wondering WTF these are for; the big hose reel on the front you use to flush out a sewer line of debris and then the big snorkle looking hose is for sucking poo poo up, literally.

Can I hook the hose on the front to the tank on the back, so I can spray poo poo everywhere?

Oh wow, that such a great price with a clean, like new interior and all. I can handle a little body work and a paint job, I guess! Well, let's take a look at the photos.

Gotta admire his honesty.

quote:

Are you one of those people who dreams about owning a Jaguar, a Porsche, or a Ferrari? Then you’re an idiot.

If you’re smart like me, there’s only one dream that comforts you when you lay your warm cheek against your cold pillow at night – and that’s the dream of driving (and being seen in!) a used, white, 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante with 142K miles and beige interior. When other people count sheep at night, you count the flirting glances you’d get from others if only you had owned this car. And when your alarm clock rips you away from your magical dreamworld of Mitsubishi-ownership, you’re left with a feeling of emptiness and despair. I know that pain. I was once like you. But now, having achieved all of my goals and perfected my life in every way, I am reluctantly parting with this piece of 4-wheeled perfection. It’s hard to let go, but it fills me with joy to know that I’m fulfilling your life-long dream!

And what does it cost to achieve perfection? For you, it’s only $2,950.

Your car comes complete as a 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante ES White Sedan, 6 Cylinder 3.5 Liter (THIS CAR IS CRAZY FAST). This car is clean, AND very reliable. I would drive it across the country without any concern. If interested, contact me at (864)423-3100 and make an offer.

Fortune favors the bold. Are you bold enough to live your dream of owning a used, white Mitsubishi Diamante?

He has an odd definition of a outstanding interior and "a bit of surface rust." For some reason, it reminds me of Top Gear's Eagle hammerhead i-thrust. Also, since I was looking for a Bronco, the inevitable OJ Bronco popped up:

Well enough as a ratty old truck (flame decals and JC whitney hood scoops, always a mark of quality), but is it just me or is the intake manifold kind of hosed?


I don't know mopars well, maybe this isn't anything to worry about. Hell, maybe they came this way. It just looks to me like either someone whacked it with a sledgehammer or the intake manifold exploded somehow.

edit: I was referring to the front of the intake manifold looking kind of jagged, but actually I think what I'm seeing is just a weird casting edge. So maybe this isn't as bad as I thought.

Wheeler Dealers is such a good show. Granted I generally skip the buying/selling portions to watch Edd rebuild poo poo, but it's refreshing to see a mechanic show that doesn't involve fat bearded guys yelling at each other or "this car could break the shop if we don't get it done in two days."
