Car has a buy it now price of $4,999 for 6 days, seller 62_caoli, 128k miles.

Sellers description:
This auction is for a used 1995 Supercharged Jaguar XJS (Yes, a SUPERCHARGED XJS) Convertible in blue color, with a Salvage Title. This is one of my five Supercharged XJS conversions.

So, I did what Jaguar didn't do in 1995 and 1996 with the jaguar XJS models. I installed a 6-cylinder 4.0 liter Supercharged OEM Jaguar engine and matched transmission (GM 4L80E) on my XJS.

As you may be aware of, all XJS were only offered with the normal aspirated engines in both the six and 12 cylinder versions. However, as you may know Aston Martin cleverly incorporated the 6-cylinder supercharged engine on its DB7 flagship from 1994 to 1998, as a result the Aston Martin DB7 model was the highest production Aston Martin vehicle ever, with more than 7,000 built before it was replaced by the DB9.

I bought the car with the intension of creating a super car with a unique feature that Jaguar did not offer for the XJS. The car has 128,000 miles and is in good mechanical and electrical condition for its age. The supercharge engine has around 52K miles on it. The installation of the supercharged engine was done by me as a hobby. The installation included all the electronics such as the ECU for a supercharged engine and High Performance air Filter.

This XJS is powered by an Eaton-supercharged 4.0-liter DOHC inline-six, which is the first production Jaguar ever to utilize forced induction. Turning at 2.5 times engine speed, the Eaton M90's positive-displacement supercharger produces up to 10 psi of boost and creates a torque curve as flat as a Yoko Ono Christmas album-but with none of the debilitating long-term side effects.

An output of 322 horsepower at 5000 rpm and a mogul-moving 378 pound-feet of torque at 3050 rpm prove my super-Jag's virility. Compared to its normally aspirated original engine stablemate (245 horses at 4700 rpm and 289 pound-feet at 4000 rpm from the same 4.0 liter basics), the tenor of this supercharged engine is more than a little nasty. Although the displacement of the two Jaguar six-cylinder engines is identical, the supercharged version receives additional internal ribbing to the cylinder head, a tougher head gasket, and a beefier exhaust manifold (all OEM). Both motors utilize cast aluminum pistons, but the supercharged powerplant chooses slightly revised camshaft profiles and a lower compression ratio (8.5:1 versus 10.0:1) to handle the boost requirements.

An original air-to-water intercooler also is employed and incorporated into the intake manifold. Opening the hood for onlookers is guaranteed to incite an outburst of oohs and aahs, as even the mechanically inept can't overlook the red "XJR6 supercharged" signage or the huge silver, satin-finished cam cover.

The start-up and idle temperament of the supercharged powerplant is indistinguishable from the smooth-as-Cadbury-chocolate Normal aspirated engine, but merely nudge your big Lord Nelson against the gas pedal, and an instantaneous rush of torque moves the 4215-pound cat in a hurry. Zero-to-60 mph is a 6.6-second thrill ride, while the quarter mile whooshes past in 14.9 seconds at 95.9 mph. Both feats occur about a second quicker than what a 6.0-liter 313-horsepower Jaguar XJS-V12 can muster, despite the king-cat's 50-percent-greater displacement and twice as many cylinders. Amazing what a little hot air can do when blown into the right places.

The 4L80-E Transmission is able to handle vehicles up to 8000 lb (3629 kg) GVWR with up to 440 ft·lbf (597 N·m) of torque. The transmission has multiple shift modes including a full manual mode through the use +/- electric paddle installed on the shifter knob. Final drive ratios include 3.42, 3.73, and 4.10.
