1971 Jaguar XKE - Flat Cat

Ken Fenical took a beat up 1971 Jaguar XK-E and turned it into a hot rod. Fenical widened the car’s midsection, gave it a flat black paint, wire wheels and a Chevy V8.

This particular example was built to be driven often and hard.

Dayton Wire Wheels have manufactured wheels in the U.S.A. since 1916. Their wheels combine precision engineering and premium construction that allow them to offer the industry's only maintenance free wire wheel (never need truing).

A popular conversion is the Chevrolet small block installed in the engine bay of these cats.

Fully custom appointments for a comfortable ride. Very little remains from the factory interior.

The switches and compass on the dash are reminiscent of aircraft inspired accruements.
