This Alpine was converted to a Tiger and completely restored in the early 1990's in California. It was sold in 2006 to another CA owner who sold it to me in 2010. I do not know if there were other owners prior to 2006. The car is rust free and completly straight.
1965 Sunbeam Alpine/Tiger Conversion. Ford 289 High Performance engine and many Shelby/ Los Angelas Tiger (LAT) options. Total rotisserie restoration done in 1990's using high quality parts and materials. Meticulously maintained and in superior condition except for recent cracked block. Rebuild using replacement block, or buy new completely dressed Ford crate engine from Ford Racing for about $5100. Can also purchase the same undressed crate engine for about $3800 and use dress parts from the old engine.

3. Changed all fluids (brake, transmission, rear end).

6. New fuel tank sending unit.
7. Rebuilt alternator.
