Our kind of hybrid: ’75 Jensen Interceptor Series III
Let’s talk rare here for a moment. Jensen Motors introduced the convertible version of the Interceptor in 1974 and built 274 cars. Very few were painted in Black making today’s find even nicer. We have to confess we were not huge fans of the Interceptor Coupe with its ungainly, huge rear window, but the convertible looks great and the paint is absolutely perfect for it. So we are big fans of this car. Chrysler supplied the power for Jensens making it a hybrid (American/British and not electric) and in 1975 it is a 440ci V-8. Not huge horsepower at 375 but sufficient to push the big, luxo-GT along nicely. Because it was meant to be a GT cruiser, virtually all Interceptors were Torqueflite Automatics. Today’s find has a nice story. It is an original California car with 58,000 miles. The interior is exceptional in appearance with the wood dash and accents in excellent condition. The seats too, look luxurious and comfy and of course, they are leather. The power top, windows and gauges are also in good working order. There is no rust or previous rust repair. The top looks to be in great shape too. The asking price is $38,000 and according to SCM Price Guide that is a bargain. They say $40-$70 grand plus 5 star appreciation potential. If all that is said is true, put this on your list. Click here for the listing.
