I'm sure it could...but the rebuild costs a couple grand more than the replacement Jag I found in great shape. Don't get me wrong..I've been very happy with my Jags..maintain them well..and aside from the one major tranny problem..they've been very reliable and continue to run well! My advice to anyone looking for an older XJ6 would be to stick to '90 or newer...after they got rid of the Lucas electrical.
