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.

2015 GMC Canyon is a Chevy Colorado in Sierra clothing [w/video]
Sun, 12 Jan 2014Ford may not offer the Ranger in America anymore, nor Dodge (or Ram) its Dakota. But General Motors - not unlike Toyota with its Tacoma and Nissan with the Frontier - isn't about to give up on the midsize pickup market. Less than two months ago, it revealed the new Chevrolet Colorado, and now it's following up with its mechanical twin, the 2015 GMC Canyon.
Launched today ahead of its reveal at the Detroit Auto Show, the Canyon slots into the GMC lineup (and differentiates itself from its Chevrolet twin) with styling that closely apes the larger GMC Sierra 1500 and Sierra HD, only a size or two smaller. Oh, there are visual differences, like a subtly different grille treatment and lower fascia, but it still maintains its big brother's square-jawed good looks and rectilinear flared fenders.
Two aluminum-block engines with direct injection and variable valve timing are available: a 2.5-liter inline-four comes standard with 193 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, and a 3.6-liter V6 is available with 302 hp and 270 lb-ft. Buyers will also be able to choose between three bodystyle configurations, three trim levels and either two- or four-wheel drive. A six-speed automatic transmits the power to the road, but a six-speed manual is available on the base model with the 2.5 and 2WD, and there's an All Terrain package available on SLE models. A diesel is expected later.
GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
