Could This Be The Perfect Sunbeam Tiger?


Could This Be The Perfect Sunbeam Tiger?

It just might be since it has a Big Block in it! Oh yeah, and it’s a Chevrolet too! I know, people are losing their minds right now, both from imagining how much fun this will be and because it’s a Chevrolet in a platform that normally would be small Ford powered. Sorry guys.

Can you imagine what kind of riot this thing must be to drive? I guess getting in and out of it might be a challenge for some of us with a little more abdominal girth, but hey I’m willing to try as I think this thing is probably an E-Ticket ride.  Oh and did I mention it’s a stick car? Oh yeah, gear jamming fun for all ages right here!

I’m pretty sure this sucker would need some more tubing added, because even with a mild big block this has to be a 10 second ride. After all, it can’t weigh anything. So cage it and spray it and put a real tire under it and I’m sure the smiles will never cease.
