If it is an 87, as stated, then it's the last year of the XJ6. The XJ40
started in this country as 88's.
With good engine rebuilds running $3-4K, and the typical market value being
in the 8-10K range, it would seen to be an okay deal, though not fantastic.
The question is what killed the engine. Given the track history of these cars,
I would first guess abuse/neglect. Normally, the trans and diff are a whole
lot weaker than the engine.So, if you're looking at it, and it's not drivable,
be careful.
