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.
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.
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.

A defining muscle car of the late 60s, the 1969 Pontiac GTO captured the era’s spirit with brute V8 power and unmistakable styling. This example, finished in green over a black interior, is reportedly powered by a 400ci V8 paired with a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission and remains largely true to its factory configuration. Tasteful updates such as modern air-conditioning and Bluetooth audio enhance usability while preserving the car’s classic personality. With its strong mechanical foundation and desirable drivetrain, this GTO offers a proper blend of originality, comfort, and vintage American muscle.
One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
The second generation or C2 Chevy Corvette came in 1963, bringing that famous split-screen window to the party. Sadly it was discontinued after just one year due to rearward visibility concerns. But, the C2 also gave the Corvette things like pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Stingray badge. Hence, finding and acquiring a C2 in great condition is a very smart decision, soulfully, as well as financially. Thankfully, we’ve done the finding part for you, and present this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for your consideration. This sub 43,000-mile survivor car from Riverhead, New York comes with a Turbo-Jet 427ci V8 and 4-speed transmission, original keys, the original owner’s manual and even a Protect-O-Plate included with the sale.
