A second chance to own a very rare and special car!
We are proud and excited to offer this very rare authentic 1966 Sunbeam Tiger MK1A. VIN# B382002230LRXFE JAL#
662239!
We purchased this rare speed sled from a local man who owned it for many years. The car underwent a complete
restoration a while back and still looks very presentable today. It was always kept in a climate controlled garage
and rarely if ever driven in the rain.
The body and its under carriage are completely rust and damage free. The older paint still has a very nice
finish. Only very minor cosmetics age blemishes are evident from very close up.
The interior is also very presentable. The seats, carpeting and gauge package are all in great condition. The
convertible top is in "like new" condition. No rips or tears anywhere. The rear plastic window does however show
typical clouding and could stand to be replaced some day. The dash does not appear original, and the instrument
gauges have been replaced with Autometer gauges. Mileage on the speedo is 1206, but we cannot authenticate that as
being the true mileage. Unlikely that it is. The original instruments do come with the car.
The original 260 CI , 300 horse power engine and gearbox preform as if it were still 1966. She has a T 10 4
speed. Dana 3.39 Posi traction rear. The engine has a mild makeover, a mild cam, Edelbrock manifold and a Holley
600 CFM CDI Ignition and Accell wires and cap. Also has stainless Headers and a new exhaust from the headers back.
All steel brake lines were replaced as were the brake hoses, rear brakes and calipers. A brand new Bosch Battery,
new windshield and new windshield rubber molding were just installed.
In summary, this is a real authenticated Tiger. Not a clone. The car has excellent "bones." A collector's rare
find. There were only 2706 1966 Sunbeam Tigers produced and according to the registry only 500 are still on the
road today. Doesn't come a whole lot more rare than that!
We ship everywhere including to the West coast and overseas. We have years of experience helping our client have
their cars shipped.
I personally drove this car and must say I was surprised when I put the pedal down. She was amazingly fast off the
line and smooth through all the gears. To say I was pleased with its performance would be an understatement.
Unlike most classic car dealers who photograph their treasures in professionally lighted studios or on Hollywood
driveways, we at Fuzzy Dice shoot our pictures at our facility using nothing more than a "point and shoot" camera.
So what you see is what you get. Most times even better in person.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra first pickups to ace updated NHTSA tests [w/video]
Tue, 20 Aug 2013General Motors has just become the first pickup truck manufacturer to receive five-star overall vehicle scores in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's New Car Assessment Program. The updated safety standards, which went into effect in 2011, are more strenuous than the previous NHTSA curriculum and involve collecting both more and more substantial data, reflecting the improved safety inherent in newer vehicles. This feat is made more impressive by the fact that both Ford and Ram have released brand-new trucks since the new testing went into effect - GM's victory is no technicality.
The rating only applies to the redesigned, light-duty Silverado, Sierra and their upmarket variants, High Country and Denali, respectively, while only Crew Cab variants were tested. Considering that the four-door body style will make up 60 percent of GM's light-duty truck sales, the exclusion of the other variants seems reasonable.
This news is sure to be yet another feather in GM's pickup-oriented cap. Be sure to scroll down for video of the crash testing, as well as the full press release from General Motors.
2015 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra heavy duty trucks unveiled
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Proving just how important trucks are in the Lone Star State, General Motors has chosen the State Fair of Texas to reveal its new heavy-duty trucks from Chevrolet and GMC. Looking to take some of the wind out of the sails of the 2014 Ram HD and 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty, the 2015 Chevy Silverado HD and 2015 GMC Sierra HD will have plenty to brag about when they go on sale in the first quarter of next year.
The bragging starts right up front with two available engines. The standard engine is a Vortec 6.0-liter V8 that produces 360 horsepower in the 2500HD and 322 hp in the 3500HD to go along with 380 pound-feet of torque in all applications. The true benefit of this powerplant is that buyers can opt for it to run on straight gasoline, E85 FlexFuel or even compressed natural gas (CNG). For maximum towing and even more flexibility, the 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel B20-capable V8 is the way to go, with its carryover 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque. Though the max towing abilities of 23,200 pounds (with a fifth-wheel trailer) are less than the 30,000-pound rating of the new Ram, the GM HD trucks offer better conventional trailer towing (19,600 pounds) and payload (7,374 pounds) than rival heavy-duty trucks...for now. The Duramax is paired with a six-speed Allison automatic transmission, while the gas engine gets GM's six-speed Hydra-Matic - no manual transmissions are offered.
Including the engines, GM continues to offer a broad range of configurations (more than 150, to be exact) including three cabs, two cargo bed lengths, numerous trim levels and, of course, the choice of single- or dual-rear wheels on the 3500. The HD trucks have faces that are similar to their half-ton counterparts, with the exception of a larger grille and bigger for improved air flow, and like the current HD offerings, the new Silverado HD and Sierra HD DRW models feature a one-piece bed design incorporating the fender extensions.
GM dealers have ordered 30k Colorado and Canyon pickups, 3rd shift added
Wed, 17 Sep 2014General Motors has an early success on its hands in the form of the initial rollout of the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize pickup trucks. According to the automaker, dealers have ordered nearly 30,000 of the trucks thus far, a number that far exceeded GM's early expectations.
This high demand for the Colorado and Canyon twins has prompted GM to add a third shift to its Wentzville Assembly plant where the trucks are built, starting early next year. An extra shift will add an additional 750 jobs at the location to the 1,315 that were already employed there, according to the press release that you're welcome to read down below.
Such positive sales projections for the Canyon and Colorado may portend good things for the midsize pickup segment, which was once hugely popular but has more recently contracted, with the Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma standing firm as the market leaders. Now that GM's entries are the most up-to-date, and with the segment's first diesel engine on the way, it will be interesting to see how the trucks continue to sell and if their hopeful success leads more automakers back onto the playing field.
