Not exactly sure how to lay this out, but here goes:
1996 4.0 HO 144K miles young - from an UpCountry white 2 door 5 speed. Never wheeled - was a daily driver. Ran just fine until the alternator crapped out after I parked it next to the house in 2015. No starter (that was donated to my '92). AX-15/231 was sold in 2015.
The "Gift Wrapped" part? Well, if you want the motor, you get the whole XJ. Yes, the floorboards are swiss cheese, but the rest of it is fine - especially the doors, glass, hood, lift gate, etc. Axles are only stock 3.07's. Ready to just be rolled away.
Don't have any pics at the moment - not until I can wash it in the spring. But, to be honest, not trying to impress anyone with the body (although the uppers are in good shape) the value here is the engine itself- any other parts you can scavenge is a bonus.
Just want to move it along - would hate to just turn it over to a junk yard, but I need to get it out of here. The engine is certainly worthwhile for anyone who needs to replace a tired 4.0. Of the 5 XJ's I've owned (including my '92 workhorse), this one always ran the strongest with no issues (e.g. oil leaks, cracked manifolds, etc.).
Price - thinking around $300 for the package. Like I said, just roll it away!
