Forgot to mention... note that the article they posted on the Allpar site does
not include the word "Ford" or mention the Tiger's 260 or 289 V8. Rather...
those Mopar guys took the Chrysler approach (e.g. a "Sunbeam V8" or as they
state a "small American built V8"). I'm sure most Mopar guys consider "Ford"
to
be one of those obscene 4-letter words.

Subject: Sunbeam Link....
Some of you may not have seen the information posted at the "Allpar" (Mopar)
enthusiast site regarding the Sunbeam marque. It is interesting that they
acknowledge Chrysler's ownership of the brand (albeit for a brief period). I
have not yet had the "nerve" to show up at a Mopar car show with my Mark II
(complete with the Chrysler pentastar on the right front fender). Any of you
guys taken your Ford powered Tiger to a Mopar event?
