On my way to work coming around the corner of Broadway and coming up on Grizzly Rose there was a 2 door XJ with $1500 in the window. Looked clean, some dents, couldn't tell what the undercarriage looked like, 2wd or 4wd. It had the 4.0litre badge on the back, not sure of the year as they didn't put that on the window. I will get a phone number later.

Snapped some quick shots. It is off of I-25 & 58th ave as if you are going to the Grizzly Rose, there is this huge lot where they buy old vehicles.

Figured anyone looking for a two door might be a look at!

:wave1:
 
Judging from the grill trim I'd say a '90 or older. The chrome over black plastic suggests that. But, it doesn't mean it's been replaced.

Also looks to be an "SE" plain jane - no roof rack, rear wiper delete and pass. mirror delete. Not likely to have gauges or power options either.

Radio antenna looks to be missing too....... rare radio delete too? Old government fleet vehicle? :dunno:
 
I will take a quick jaunt at lunch and get a closer look at it and get the number if anyone is interested.

So Yella, for $1500 you think that is overpriced?

.......not like I am looking to buy it, god knows I am a broke arse feller, but I know XJboy was looking for a new XJ for his GF. I would rather grab that white one you have if I had the money :peace:

I know it is hard to get two doors, I will report back after lunch.
 
If it runs as good as it looks and isn't a rubber floor'd, no option'd plain jane with low miles, then I'd say the asking price isn't too bad.

BTW, if it has the rubber floor covering, take a peek at the floor boards from under the rig. 9 times outta 10 it's gonna have rot thru.

I'm guessing it'll be a 5 speed, no center console, vinyl seats, with the options of gauges and A/C being ify.......

Place yer bets! :D
 
It's got rims and BFGs.

Oops, yeah, meant to mention that as well - those certainly don't hurt the value either......... that is IF you dig the rims. Me personally - they look like they came off a front wheel drive bling-mobile....... :D

Okay here ya go, who placed bets? ....who is counting to see how accurate Yella is? :looney:

Stock, standard interior; Idiot gauges, does have a CD player that I see in the dash, don't know where the antenna is?

No center console, Rubber floor which looked intact, however could not get in the vehicle as it was locked for further inspection. Tan interior, and the seats looked good, but couldn't tell with the dark tint. Also couldn't see the climate controls for the A/C selection.

The undercarriage looked good on the passenger side, minor surface rust on some edges but coating still good. Drivers side was a different story, where the pedals/feet are underneath, there is a little bit of cancer and looks as though starting to eat through, probably a 2-3 inch section, other than that the rest was dirty but no major rust. Underside of the motor; fresh oil everywhere, assume typical leaking motor, maybe even main seal.

Manual tranny, definitely 4wheel drive with NP231, what was weird, it had a Dana 44 rear end !?!?!

One major note looking at it it appears the vehicle use to be gold? ............painted white? Around the window vent area where the wipers are looks as though they painted it white and it was peeling off as it was a crappy job exposing the gold. However this was my only clue to the gold as the rest of the body looked clean, not the shiniest, but no rust and just a couple small dents on the front clip area. The frame does not look as if it has been hit or in an accident as I did not see any of the apparent buckling anywhere.

I did manage to look close enough at the speedometer and it listed 187,265 something? The guy didn't put the year on it and since it was locked couldn't see the plate in the doorway.



Here is the persons number 720-229-9031 for contact in case anyone is interested.

Forgot to add that the wheels were definitely pimping, but clean. Tires were BFG AT km's and looked pretty new.

The front was a 30 disco' and looks as thought they unplugged the wire and vacuum for the indicator and actuator as it was dangling.

I would say anybody interested start off with $750 and work your way up to $1000 tops. Would need a little work but the good out weights the bad. Great cheap project vehicle although not seeing the motor or running it down the street might be a total waste of time. Okay Yella go get him!

:D

Well the D44 certainly is a bonus! That would make it an '87-'89..... my bet is it's an '87.

Mileage is high, it's a leaker and crappy re-paint, and guessing from the huge mirrors and trailer hitch, it's probably done it's fair share of trailer/camper hauling...... I agree, $750 would be an ok price IF you liked the wheels - the owner probably has close to that much in just the tires/wheels.

But I'll pass...... After all the fun I've had with my current '87 5 speed I'm swearing off 1st generation XJ's.......:D I have too many projects as it is anyway.

OH MY GOD! This is TOO FUNNAY!!!!! :laugh::laugh:

So I saw this XJ for sale again this morning. It was in the same spot as it was yesterday. As I was leaving work wasn't paying too much attention to as I came up to it.....then something caught my eye, made me do a double take and almost slam on the brakes.

Whoever is selling this went out and bought these black huge FAKE hood scoop/louver thingys' and slapped them on the hood! Even from 20' away they looked so fake...............and huge.........they attached by doublesided tape I think?

WTF!!! .....oh brutha.......... Maybe this will tip the hesitating buyers to scoop it up for $1500

....I will see if I can get pics tomorrow if they are stupid enough to leave them on
