What a cool car... not too much money.

1963 Sunbeam Alpine

Nice example of the Sunbeam Alpine. I would classify the car as a Driver. No Rust. Originally a California Car. The previous owner reports to having the car in his family for 30+ years. The car had a

Sunbeam Tiger had a small block Ford. It was the poor man’s Cobra. I’ve always wanted one. They rust almost as bad as a Coupe

The muscle car shop that I worked in a very long time ago finished a customer's Tiger project. The Tiger originally came with a very narrow 260 or 289 Ford V8. The customer thought that all small Ford V8s were the same size and ordered a Boss 351 to go his Tiger. The customer realized that he was in over his head and asked us to finish the project. We actually got the Boss 351 to fit by installing a short dry-sump oil pan, running the headers through the fender wells, and making a mostly new firewall and transmission tunnel. A narrowed Jeep rear axle was installed to handle the extra power. It was frightening to drive. Probably did 0-60 in about 50 feet.
