This 1966 Sunbeam Tiger has had its original 260 swapped out for a 289, and though not sold with any big claims of originality or factory-accurate perfection, the car looks good in photos and is said to be a blast to drive. A roll bar, Panasports and included (but not pictured) metal hardtop seal the deal. Find it here on Craigslist in Murray, Utah for $48k.

The car looks very straight with excellent Signal Red paint, and though not photographed, the original, factory black metal hardtop sounds to be included. Trim looks straight, shiny and complete. and the car is dropped nicely over well-judged Panasports or similar style wheels.

The interior shows nice wood, dash padding, carpets, door panels and what appears to be complete instrumentation and switchgear, though the seats aren’t shown and the wood-rimmed wheel is a bit too thick. A slightly larger diameter item with a thinner rim but similar style would look great.

This closeup of the 289 is the only engine bay shot provided, but it’s good to see that it retains Tiger rocker covers. Provided the motor’s been built and tuned properly, this swap makes for much better-than-stock performance with a similar look, sound and very little–if any–added weight over the front wheels. The seller says it offers a “fabulous exhaust note and exhilarating performance.”

Hagerty says this one’s priced very close to a #4 example, but cosmetics suggest it’s closer to a number three or even a lower-end number two. The non-original engine obviously plays a role here, but provided it drives as good as it looks, it could be worth a closer look.
