1975 Jensen Interceptor Mk III Convertible

This 1974 Jensen Interceptor convertible is said to have been first sold in Los Angeles and was reportedly acquired by the seller from the son of the second owner in October 2016. The car is finished in black over tan upholstery and powered by a replacement 440ci V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment consists of a power-operated tan convertible top, a matching top boot, chrome-finished bumpers with bumperettes, four-wheel disc brakes, a wood veneer dash, power accessories, and a Kenwood CD stereo linked to Pioneer Premier speakers. Work by West Coast Mopar of Palm Springs is said to have included installing the replacement engine, Vintage Air air conditioning, a new soft top, and a replacement dash panel. This Interceptor Mk III convertible is now offered with a car cover and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The car is said to have been finished from the factory in blue and was repainted in the current shade of black under previous ownership. Equipment includes a power-operated replacement tan convertible top, a matching top boot, fender vents, a louvered hood, and brightwork that consists of rocker-panel moldings, wraparound bumpers, and dual exhaust outlets. Paint imperfections around the driver’s door handle are presented in the gallery.

Factory 15″ alloy wheels with silver-finished faces and black pockets are wrapped in 215/70 BFGoodrich Advantage T/A tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in tan leather along with matching door panels. A replacement dash was reportedly fitted under current ownership, and amenities include Vintage Air air conditioning, power accessories, and a Kenwood CD stereo connected to Pioneer Premier speakers.

A two-spoke steering wheel frames a wood veneer dash panel with Jaeger instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer. Auxiliary gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage are housed in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 85k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership. The seller notes that the clock is not functional, and true mileage is unknown.

The replacement Chrysler 440ci V8 was reportedly installed by West Coast Mopar of Palm Springs, California, under current ownership.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a TorqueFlite A727 three-speed automatic transmission. Additional photos of the underbody are provided in the gallery below.
