Sundeam -Alpine. Thnis one unfortunately didnt come with the big motor. I think that was the only difference in the 2 models. You definately get points for spotting the Sunbeam though. Neet little car. Me sittin in the damn thing is like stuffin 10 pounds of taters in a 5 pound sack though. -Amos

Im just a hair shy of 6 foot and weigh 290 pounds. The little doctor that owns this thing is around 5-5 and mayby 140 pounds. I could never comfortably drive this thing but Doc fits right in. No way in hell I could get in with the top on. Take it easy-Amos

Nice interior Amos!! And nice plug for your shop taking the pic in front of your sign. Thats good man...LOL. That car would be a blast to drive with GM's new LS3 and 6-speed installed.

Thanks, its got a Ford 6 cylinder and a 4 speed in it now. It'll scoot. I try to take pics of all the cars we work on and build in front of our sign. Youd be surprised how many folks will steel a pic and use it for thier promotion. Hard to say you did it if its sitting in front of my shop's sign.

You need to throw a couple pics of the 4 seater SSR up on here. Found a buyer yet? Take it easy brother.-Amos

Sunbeam! I've got a model of an Alpine. I have a bunch of models I never finished. I stopped building them when I started building real cars...30 years or so ago...Hmmm, wonder what those unfinished ones are worth on eBay...

That's a beauty, too. Meant to say that in the first place. I'm a sucker for little cars, especially if you can figure out how to stuff a big engine in.

Owner of this one would probably be interested in the model.

It has hardtop too.

Hey lou, got a question for you, I dig the little car /big motor thing . There were alot of them, the most famous being the Cobra. My question is , what is the differcne between an AC Bristle and an AC Ace.  Thanks buddy,and I think it is really cool that as busy as you are you still find the time to bull-shit with us every day.
