Here's something you don't see everyday. Daniel O'Brien of Medina, Ohio was passing thru Dayton a few months back and liked what he saw at Blad Boys and decided to have his 1966 Sunbeam Tiger shipped to us for a little TLC. This late 65 built Tiger is completely in tact and is very impressive in it's originality. Daniel is just wanting us to get her up and running again after a 4 year squat in a garage. Hopefully this will turn into a complete restoration at some point (get the hint Daniel). Anyways, here at Blad Boys we have worked on and restored every brand of American Muscle Car so we aren't scared of "no stinking Tiger" (excuse my Blazing Sattles paraphrasing). Since going over the car, it's in amazing shape for being original and the 260 Ford in it purrs like , well, a Tiger. These cars are really fast and they have been called the "poor mans Cobra". If you want to have more history on the Sunbeam Tiger go to classic tiger for some good info. Til next time, Happy Hot Rodding.
Nick,
Thanks for the post.... but it's a late '64 build of a '65 model year (known as an MK1).
And for anyone reading this post, after only a week of interaction with the people at Blad Boyz, I can't say enough good things. If you have a classic (and apparently even an English car) call these guys!
Can't wait to hear what she sounds like at 120, oops! 65mph, again!
