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.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Mystery man buys fast food worker a new car
Tue, Apr 28 2015A mystery man bought a Tennessee fast food worker a new car. 34-year-old Jeff Smith told WKRN he was approached by an older stranger as he was exiting a grocery store. The two struck up a conversation about Smith's 1991 Geo Storm. The vehicle is falling apart; it has more than 350,000 miles on it, a cracked dashboard, no drivers side window, and a door that is literally being held closed by a small hook. The stranger asked Smith to follow him down the road to James Motors, but then asked the fast food worker to wait outside. Smith told WKRN, "He comes back out and says, 'How do you like that blue pickup?' I said. 'It looks great.' Then he said, 'Well, I bought it and it's yours now.' [...] It's just a blessing. It's the best thing that has ever happened to me." At first, Smith didn't believe this was even real. But the owner of James Motors showed up at the fast food restaurant where he works with the keys and title to the 2001 navy blue GMC Sonoma. The mysterious benefactor didn't want to be identified, but asked smith to do something nice for someone else in the future. Weird Car News GMC geo
GM cutting vehicle trim options to save money for electrification
Sun, Mar 1 2020Information continues to filter out about GM's plans based on comments the automaker made during its Capital Markets Day event in February. GM President Mark Reuss said the company's push to save money by rationalizing the number of build combinations will continue in 2020, carrying on the work done in 2019. As GM Authority covers, last year, the carmaker cut 3,500 components across model lines, a 12% drop in the number of parts it needed to stock in its plants. Reuss used the next-generation Chevolet Equinox and GMC Terrain as examples for more cost efficiencies, saying build possibilities — which include international markets and their options — will be cut by more than 50%, and use more shared parts. "We will reduce total trim levels on Equinox and Terrain from eight to six," Reuss said, "reduce engine variants from 11 to 5, reduce build combinations from more than 200 to less than 100 per program, and see significant cost savings of an already paid-for architecture that took the mass out, helping us self-fund electrification programs." GM will plow a large amount of the money it saves into its ambitious EV program. In 2017, the automaker said it intends to have 20 electric vehicles on the market by the end of 2023, some of which could be shared between brands. An automotive analyst at Seeking Alpha and a piece in Automobile attempted to put specifics to what we should expect. As Automobile points out, the first two EVs in the 20-car program are already on sale, being the Ariv Meld and Ariv Merge eBikes available in Belgium and The Netherlands. We've seen the Cruise Origin autonomous rideshare taxi, although we don't know when it will hit the road. The next three, which we should see in the metal shortly, are two Cadillac EVs and the GMC Hummer EV pickup. The Cadillac pair are expected to be sized like the XT4 and XT5, and along with the Hummer, should hit the market starting in late 2021.
