Ouch, starts at $4500.

At the end of the day I'll most likely walk away, but it's fun to think about for a day or two. A cousin of mine put a SBC in his XJ12, something like 400 pounds lighter with the same power. But it's still a sacrilege and will never be an option I would consider.

A friend of mine is trying to sell me one. It's a beautiful car, 1990 XJ12 convertible in light blue (It appears that arctic blue was not available in 1990) 60,000 miles, garaged and well taken care of. And I have to admit I really want it. But it's a V12 Jaguar with a pre-Ford electrical system. Not aware of anyone locally that services them. So I'm appealing to wisdom found herein to help me come to my senses. In the event I were to become saddled with it, it would be a twice a month commuter and summer road trip car.

There were two models a 6hp and an 8hp. They may have been known as "Phaeton". They made their debut in the Labor Day parade in Milwaukee 1902. A company in Illinois named H. Brothers may have actually manufactured the cars for Northwestern.built by the "Northwestern Furniture and Cabinet Company @ 271-3 W. Water St Milwaukee. They manufactured commercial store, office and bar equipment and furniture. For example if you were building a hotel, they would do all the woodwork for the registration desk/counter. They could also produce all the furniture. They were in business from 18??-1972, the building still stands.Northwestern a German Immigrant owned/started company announced in 1902 it was going to produce an automobile, and 2 models would be offered. a 6 hp Runabout and a 8hp Phaeton. It is believed the 6 hp model with smaller wheels was never produced. The evidence suggests that the company made ONE production Run in 1903 of 15 Model "B" Phaetons. (the ONLY one surviving today is car #5 of the 15) Because of the limited production, all were "Show Stripped" generally only the first few were, so the Haase had gold leaf, as well as red and vermillion pin stripping heavily (and costly) applied. Their Haase Company sales slogan was "Shure sellers, quick sellers" this was not true in the end, and by 1905-6 they still had cars from the 1903 run unsold. They dropped the price on the remaining cars to $850.00 by 1804. The owner and builder spent the rest of his life into the 1960s trying to find and buy back a Haase, he believed all were lost.The Hasse model to survive today was sold by the "Graham Cycle Co, Chicago" and still has the sales tag attached, the first auto dealers were bike shops. The Haase has a self generating "Phare-Solar" single headlight, Nortwestern did not offer this, so it COULD have been installed by Graham Cycle for the streets of Chicago, or by Chas. O. Krohne, the original owner and buyer, for the wilds of Montana capable of illuminating like daylight nearly 1/2 mile.Northwestern announced (I forget the year) 1907 ??? It would once again enter the automobile market place with a totally new car, they never did.In 1903 the Model "B" Phaeton sold for $1,200. the top was $50. more, in fine leather $100. The Haase was an "assembled car", meaning all the parts were bought on the market to build it, for example the rear axle was purchased from "Brown-Lipe" assembled cars of that era were of the highest quality, because the parts were all purchased from one source, who only made one thing, they could then produce the best part. NORTHWESTERN of course produced the body, which is wood, of the highest quality cabinet work. The car has 32 x 3 single tube tires, in 1903 about $1.30 each, 1988 about $350. each, now no longer produced.In 1903 Ford, Packard, Oldsmobile and Cadillac were all producing cars, BUT they were one cyl, the Haase was 2, then as now cyl represented power, speed, prestige and $$$, being twice the cost of a one cyl auto, and hill climbing, as well all of the cars mentioned had a "Rickety" crude 2 speed planetary transmission operated by awkward foot pedals, like a Model T Ford, which had a to low low, and to high high, The Haase had a 3 speed constant mesh, selective clutch transmission, the only one of its kind ever in that era. NO ONE knows who produced it, the "H" Brothers produced the 2 cyl opposed suction intake 300 ci engine. All steel artillery wheels were produced by Dayton, another very rare feature, as well the Hasse was left had drive, all American cars were right hand till about 1906-8 Left hand meant your gal did not have to get out in the mud of the street when parked at the curb. As well the Hasse had the first known true brake pedal, AND gas pedal of the time, a side bar gear shift for the automatic 3 speed transmission. The Haase had the radiator up front as it should be, as well the first glove box.Speed of the restored car is better than 37 mph, original posted top speed was 32, a racer of the day. Had not Chas O. Krohne bought the car, there would be no surviving Haase today. By I am guessing 1910-15 all the Haase cars had been junked, dismantled for the valuable parts and scrap. The Haase was 97% complete and original when restored around 1986 to 100 points, it received an invitation to Pebble Beach, to the Concurs de Elegance, attributing to the restoration quality. The difference between a 96 point and a 100 point restoration today is at least 20k depending on car, to well over 200k. 1 in 500,000 cars today are not restored to 100 point standards, due to cost and time constraints

I like the look of the '58 Chevy better than the '57. Don't tell my Dad, he'd disown me. But the '56 is still the best.

Ha! I drive that street every day. Do you still have the Roadmaster? I've never seen it running about.

Sorry if I'm late to the party, but when I enter AACA into the search engine it pops up with the Permanently Closed banner.

Don't know if I should admit this but I've used black pipe bushings to repair wallowed out threads. Cut pipe threads into the damaged material and drill and tap the bushing.

It has relatively recent license plates so if I had to bet I'd say it's not cracked. But a cracked block makes the car worth a lot less and early identification would save some headache. Current temperature today is 0* F, every spring there's boats for sale with cracked blocks. Managing expectations.

Assuming the electrical is up to the task and has oil, is it safe to put a battery on it and give it a test spin?

Edit December 29: Got a call back, the car is sold. Asking price was $7500 stored in a dry climate. I'll be looking at what appears to be a very nice original 1937 Special 4 dr. Hasn't run in many years. Will I be able to see the common crack locations? Worst case, how hard is it to source a replacement? Anything else I should look at? Price is reasonable so there's room for some expenses. If I don't buy it I'll pass along the information.

1957 Special Riviera 4 dr. Windshield and rear glass are still in, doors are on. Front fenders and related assembly is off and the engine is out. Current plan is to jack up the 4 corners of the body, slide wood 4x4s across at the front and back, and then roll the chassis out from under it. My main question is do I need to worry about warping the body if it's only supported at each outside corner? Four points of support total. And the glass. I have reservations in my ability to remove the glass and store it safely, but they will need to come out at some point for paint. The windshield and rear glass are both in good condition. The body will be off for at least 6 months. Once off it doesn't necessarily need to move but I can likely figure a way to get dollies under it if I need to. Any wisdom is welcome. I have low ceilings so craning from above is not an option.

This thread is misleading and disappointing.
