I was working as a tech at a Government Motors dealer during that whole c4c fiasco, we had one F-150 with the 300 that took 30-40 min to seize up, as soon as it cooled off it would start back up, did that for a full week before we got bored trying to kill it.

Regardless, eventually xjs will be "rare" vehicles. Gotta think. The newest xjs are already 11 years old.

Someday you will see that I am right.... as stated above they are already older vehicles. In another 40 years people will be driving lifted XJ's to car shows. Think about it back in the day it was about speed. Nowadays it's not all about speed, people still like fast cars, but there is a love for mudding. XJ's will be the S*** again...

Well....idk how many xjs will be around in 40 years. Unless one doesnt wheel much or plates the **** out of the unibody. There are some 4x4s that are worth more now then they were now.... fj40s, older broncos, some rovers.

Look at the old cars on the road today... my grandpa has an old muscle car and it's been restored several times but runs like a top and looks great. It would take a lot of work and time like any restoration would, but the end would be worth it.

Anyone that destroys an American Muscle car should be destroyed with it. Period.

Well when the steering box keeps ripping off even w it renforced it's either get a new one or a cj that I got for free. I think it's a no brainier. I'll own another xj when I find one for a good deal

My step dad use to do demo derby years ago,When i seen his pictures i kinda wanted to cry one car was a 70 cuda and one was a 69 cougar.I asked him about it he told me he used the biggest cheapest cars he could find and looking back on it he should have kept them all.
