AJ’s Car of the Day: 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mark I

Car: Sunbeam Tiger Mark I

Year: 1966

What makes it special: The Sunbeam Tiger was the high-performance V8 version of the British Rootes Group’s Sunbeam Alpine roadster, designed in part by car designer and racing driver Carroll Shelby and produced from 1964 until 1967. Shelby had carried out a similar V8 conversion on the AC Cobra, and hoped to be offered the contract to produce the Tiger at his facility in America. Rootes decided instead to contract the assembly work to Jensen at West Bromwich in England, and pay Shelby a royalty on every car produced.

What made it famous: Two major versions of the Tiger were built: the Mark I from 1964–67 was fitted with the 260 cu in Ford V8; the Mark II, of which only 633 were built in the final year of Tiger production, was fitted with the larger Ford 289 cu in engine. Two prototype and extensively modified versions of the Mark I competed in the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans, but neither completed the race. Rootes also entered the Tiger in European rallies with some success. Production ended in 1967 soon after the Rootes Group was taken over by Chrysler, which did not have a suitable engine to replace the Ford V8.

Why I would want one: This is one of the wildest sports cars ever built, second only to the Shelby Cobra.

Fun fact: For two years it was the American Hot Rod Association’s national record holder over a quarter-mile drag strip.

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1967 Ford Fairlane Club Coupe

Car: Ford Fairlane Club Coupe

Year: 1967

What makes it special: For the 1966 model year, the intermediate sized Fairlane model was given a make-over. It now resembled the full-sized Galaxie model with vertically stacked front headlights, which the Galaxie received for the previous year. An XL, GT, GTA ( A for automatic ) package debuted, as well as a convertible, sedans, hardtop and station wagon versions. The 1967 model was given very mild changes in appearance.

What made it famous: The 289 small-block was the base V8 engine, while the 200 cu in inline-6 was the base for the economy minded. a 390 cu in in either 2- or 4-barrel at 275 or 320 bhp was optional. The 427 V8 was also available in either a single 4-barrel or dual quad, putting out 410 hp for the W-code and 425 hp for the R-code. The Ranchero returned for the Fairlane line in 1967.

Why I would want one: Had a 1966 Fairlane 500 hardtop as my first car. Bought it with the $100 cash I was supposed to buy my high school ring with. Rescued it from dissection by our high school auto shop.

Fun fact: The King Of Rock N Roll, Elvis Presley had a 1967 Ford Ranchero, which was one of his prized possessions.

The Impala also featured a new coved instrument panel with indicator lights for engine conditions.
