First time ever offered for sale!  A true one owner Sunbeam Tiger MK1 (TAC certified).  Still owned by the 84 year old owner.  She was my english teacher in high school, and I remember seeing the car in the parking lot at high school, as it was her daily driver.  In 2012, they commissioned Paul Reisentz to perform a complete restoration, with a few enhancements.  The car has 65,XXX original miles, with only about 100 miles driven in the last 9 years.  We have approximately 180 pages of receipts and documentation including the original buyer's order showing that the car was purchased at Sheppard Motors in Eugene, Oregon in March of 1966.  The car is finished in Midnight blue, with a tan interior.  Having been in southern Oregon its entire life, the car is rust free.  Every part of the car is new, or restored.  The undercarriage is as clean as the topside. The engine is the original 260 v-8 with an Edelbrock 4bbl intake and carburetor added.  A mild hydraulic cam and roller rockers round out the engine build.  The original HEH-E close ratio top loader transmission and Dana 44 rear end complete the drivetrain.  Other upgrades include LAT headers, "Tiger" scrip aluminum valve covers, an alternator instead of a generator, LAT 70 wheels, vented front brake rotors, aluminum radiator with electric auxiliary fan, and Koni shocks.  Electric power steering was added in 2017.  A major service was just completed and the car runs and drives as new!  The tires are old and will need to be replaced.  For more information, calls are best.  Offered at $84,500  Ken Mann 541-973-6211 mustangmann541@gmail.com
