This 1964 Sunbeam Tiger GT was built in August 1964 and is one just 15 GT models produced. The GT features a removable body-colored hardtop, no soft top, a wood dashboard, and a number of other alterations. According to the seller, 11 examples are known to survive today, and this particular car has been verified by the TAC program and is accompanied by a Certificate of Disclosure by Tiger historian Norman Miller. In the late 1990s, the car was found in a Palo Alto garage by Norman Miller and purchased soon thereafter by a Tiger collector who commissioned a restoration. The seller purchased this GT at a July 2015 auction and had further mechanical refurbishment performed by Tiger specialist Dale’s Restoration in Southern California. Power comes from a 260ci V8 paired to a non-original but correct close-ratio Toploader 4-speed manual. This Tiger GT is now offered with all restoration and service records from the seller’s ownership, an owner’s handbook, a reproduction toolkit signed by Carroll Shelby, a hard top stand and cover, two car covers, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

This particular GT was built in August 1964, shortly after Sunbeam debuted the Tiger at the April 1964 New York Auto Show. According to the Certificate of Disclosure, this Tiger was originally finished in Moonstone over a black interior. The car was stripped and painted black in the early 2000s. More recently, the seller had the front-end and trunk repainted to repair previous imperfections. The right quarter panel also received rust repair using replacement metal and no filler.

Known modifications consist of period-correct 15″ Hallibrand wheels, a LAT hood scoop, a rear disc brake conversion, QA-1 10-way adjustable rear shocks, and the stainless steel exhaust system shown above. Four new 195/60 series BFGoodrich radial tires were fitted in April 2016. The trunk area is highlighted in the photo gallery below, and the seller states that the original spare and jack are missing.

During the early 2000s restoration, the interior was refreshed, including new black Connelly leather and Wilton wool carpeting.

All materials and finishes appear to be in good condition, and the seller lists a missing ashtray in the center console as the only notable flaw. Currently, the odometer shows 5,122 miles, and total mileage is unknown. The prior owner who commissioned the early 2000s restoration told the seller that the car had about 60k miles when it came out of the Palo Alto garage. The speedometer was set to zero during the restoration, and the seller has put over 1,600 miles on this GT during his two years of ownership.

This GT is claimed to retain its numbers-matching 260ci V8, which is mated to a correct but non-original, close-ratio 4-speed Toploader transmission. All records during the seller’s ownership will accompany the sale.

Additional undercarriage pictures are displayed in the photo gallery below.

An owner’s handbook and complete reproduction tool kit signed by Carroll Shelby are also included with the sale, along with the hard top stand and two car covers.
