The Jensen Interceptor is a grand tourer that blended Italian design, British assembly, and American power. Built from 1966 to 1976, it features a steel body designed by Carrozzeria Touring and a massive glass rear hatch. Power came from big-block Chrysler V8s, initially a 383 CID engine, later upgraded to the more common 440 CID unit, paired with a TorqueFlite automatic transmission.
Collectors appreciate the Interceptor for its distinctive looks and its comfortable, muscular performance. It's a unique alternative to more common GTs from Aston Martin or Ferrari, offering similar style and V8 sound for a fraction of the price. The rare convertible models and the high-performance SP (Six-Pack) variant are particularly sought after, as is the technologically advanced four-wheel-drive FF model.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy; meticulously inspect the sills, floor pans, wheel arches, and especially the area around the front and rear glass.
- Chrysler's 383 and 440 V8s are robust, but check for signs of overheating, a known issue. The cooling system should be in top condition.
- The Lucas electrical systems can be finicky. Test all gauges, switches, lights, and electric windows to ensure they work correctly.
- Interior restoration is expensive. Look for cars with well-preserved leather seats and dashboards, as replacing them can easily cost over $10,000.
- Check for evidence of regular maintenance. These cars require consistent care, and a thick file of service records is a very good sign.
