Re: ‘66 LHD 3.8S Manual/OD for sale in Denver

Photos. All the extra parts are being stored inside the cabin and trunk. I know the car looks rough, but it’s not really rusty and it’s too good to part out and scrap in my opinion.

‘66 LHD 3.8S Manual/OD for sale in Denver

Reluctantly I have decided to sell my ‘66 3.8S. I have listed it on Denver Craigslist and had some local interest but no buyers yet. If it doesn’t sell locally, I might list it on BAT with No Reserve, or start selling some of the good parts I have acquired over the years. Car has good bones but need...

Re: 1966 jaguar 3.8S

If this car gets parted out, I may be interested in purchasing interior parts, such as seats, door panels, parcel shelves, center console, kick panels, etc. Mike S. in Colorado.

Re: Front Suspension Rebuild Kits and Wire Wheel Parts

There is a local Wheel shop here in Denver that has been around for a long time. I might go over and speak with them before I start fabricating a nipple tool and destroying my spare wheel. Part of me wants to try this, but another part wants to simply write the check for new ones. I looked at the li...

Re: Front Suspension Rebuild Kits and Wire Wheel Parts

Rebuilding the wheels myself sounds challenging at best. I'm thinking of scavenging some spokes and nipples from my spare wheel, which might have minor damage to the outside of the rim and might not be rebuildable. That way I'll have some good spokes and nipples to use on the other four...maybe. Any...

Front Suspension Rebuild Kits and Wire Wheel Parts

Does anyone know if anyone sells a complete front suspension rebuild kit for the 3.8S, including bushings tie rods, ball joints etc., or must I buy the items separately. Also I would like to clean up and repair the 5.5 X 15 inch chrome curly hub wire wheels that are on the car. The chrome on the rim...

Vintage Racing a 3.8S Saloon in The US

Since I have a '65 3.8S in my driveway that needs considerable restoration work, and I am afraid that once I embark on a restoration I will soon be upside down with costs, especially for quality paint and interior kit. So I am looking into modifying it to race with Vintage clubs here in the US. I'm ...
