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.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
GMC Canyon will debut in Detroit
Fri, 20 Dec 2013With the debut of the Chevrolet Colorado at November's Los Angeles Auto Show, perhaps it was only a matter of time before we saw the small truck's GMC counterpart. That time will be January, as we've received official confirmation that the GMC Canyon will be revived at next month's North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The news came in the latest issue of the Detroit Auto Show's newsletter, NAIAS Connect. The article hasn't been posted online quite yet, but it details the Canyon as one of the world production debuts slated for the show.
While we've heard rumors that the Canyon would arrive in Detroit, this is our first concrete bit of evidence. As we've detailed before, we expect the Canyon to be stylistically quite different than the Colorado, though the underpinnings will be shared. The teaser image we have above is currently our only look at the new truck. We'll hopefully have more details in the next few weeks as the GMC Canyon draws closer to its official debut.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
