Carroll Shelby’s work in stuffing American engines into compact British roadsters is well documented with the AC Cobra or Shelby Cobra. But did you know that the great man was also responsible for something called the Sunbeam Tiger? Sunbeam was another well-known maker of pert British roadsters. Shelby took their cutesy Alpine two-seater and stuffed, surprise surprise, a Ford V8 under its hood. Sunbeam liked the idea, and although they contracted fellow British automaker Jensen to make the car instead of Shelby, they paid him a royalty on every car sold. Today, we have one of these relatively rare birds for sale, a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger from Paw Paw, Michigan. The car has done under 95,000 miles and has got some enhancements to make it even sweeter to drive.
Exterior and Interior
Over 7,000 cars were made, and this 1965 Sunbeam Tiger is one of those proud examples. It’s got a custom orange paint job with a custom pin stripe and rides on Panasport racing wheels shod with BF Goodrich tires. Yes, it looks every bit the spunky and cheeky British roadster that it is, until the Ford V8 fires up and then you realize that this car is quite capable too. We’re told that the top has been previously replaced as well. The black and orange two-tone interior of this 1965 Sunbeam Tiger has reportedly been overhauled and features replaced carpeting, replaced seat covers and replaced door panels. There’s an aftermarket steering wheel as well. The dashboard features wood trim as befits British roadsters from the Sixties that wanted to have some luxury connotations too. A fire extinguisher sits in the center of the car as well, and it’s a great addition for any classic car, if just for that extra peace of mind. Pop the trunk and you’ve got a decent amount of space as well as a full-size spare tire.
Engine
This 1965 Sunbeam Tiger comes with a 260ci Ford V8 that’s been enhanced via an aftermarket chrome air intake system, headers and a custom exhaust system. The car has got a crisp T-10 4-speed manual transmission and is, of course, rear-wheel drive. We’re also informed that the suspension system is aftermarket.

Produced by the British automaker Rootes Group, the Sunbeam Alpine is a quintessential British two-seater sports car that first began production in 1953. During its six-year production run, the Alpine saw five different series, the latest being an example of what is featured here today. During this five-series run, the Alpine played a major role in British motorsport history, most notably at Le Mans, where it won the Thermal Index of Efficiency in 1961. This Sunbeam Alpine roadster has reportedly seen just 100 miles on the road since it received a rebuild. According to the current seller, this series-V Sunbeam has an array of upgrades and is currently up for sale in Maryland for anyone looking to pick up a piece of iconic British automotive craftsmanship.
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedan captures the long, low, unmistakable style that made Chevrolet’s full-size cars such icons of the 1960s. Showing approximately 28,076 miles, this example combines a 327ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, while power steering and power brakes make it considerably easier to enjoy from behind the wheel. Finished in Red over a Black interior, it also benefits from tasteful modern upgrades including aftermarket coilover suspension and a Bluetooth-capable sound system, adding usability without taking away from the car’s classic character.
This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s second-generation F-body and gives it a much more aggressive enthusiast-focused personality. Showing approximately 752 miles, this example combines a 383ci stroker V8 with a 750 CFM Holley 4-barrel carburetor and a 4-speed manual transmission, giving it the kind of old-school muscle-car formula that puts driver involvement front and center. Finished in Black with custom Purple & Red flame graphics, this Camaro also features a Hurst shifter, Grant GT steering wheel, aftermarket gauges, and a number of exterior and audio upgrades that give it a distinctly custom-built character.
The 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Hardtop is the kind of Mopar that gets enthusiasts interested before the hood is even opened. Its clean B-body lines, pillarless hardtop profile, Soft Yellow paint, black vinyl roof, and Magnum 500-style wheels give it the restrained factory muscle look of the mid-1960s, but this example carries much more serious hardware underneath. Showing approximately 91,610 miles, it is powered by a 440ci big-block V8 backed by a TorqueFlite 727 automatic, giving it the kind of drivetrain combination that feels right at home in a classic Plymouth. Add power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, and a dual exhaust system, and this Belvedere blends old-school Mopar attitude with enough comfort to make it more than just a weekend bruiser.
