Nice!, always liked the Sunbeam Alpines and Tigers. Its an under appreciated piece of Shelby history that has finally gotten more interest over the past decade to collectors...first saw one in this Bond Movie.

Don Johnston Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 There is always Maxwell Smart in his Sunbeam Tiger in the TV series "Get Smart". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhr1961 Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 OP, again, nice Tiger. I bet that thing runs like a scalded dog with the 347. About how much hp is she putting down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Do you know the history of the Tiger? A friend of mine built one for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, I wonder if this is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr1961 Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Found a picture of "The Man" along with a Tiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007_Shelby_GT Posted April 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 The original owner pulled mine out of a junkyard and spent 20 plus years building it up to the condition you see here! Only raced a couple of times, never at Pikes Peak! Incidently, Maxwell Smart drove an Alpine that had Tiger badges - they needed room under the hood for the pop up machine gun and the V-8 wouldn’t have worked, hence the Alpine with V-8 sound dubbed in!

2007_Shelby_GT Posted April 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Oh, the stroker came from a drag car and the Tiger was impossible to drive until it was re-cammed! About 400 or so horses and a real scream to drive now! Currently building something a bit milder (331) to make it a tad more liveable!

Maxwell Smart Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Good looking car. My 65 Tiger has a 331 in it. Alum heads and all the goodies inside. Runs pretty good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
