A few weeks back I was attending a small barbeque festival in Jeffersonville, In and while walking around their downtown area there was a storefront with some interesting machinery. Being a gearhead I looked in and amongst the hot rods and choppers there was a sunbeam tiger. Had to explain to the ladyfriend that it was similar to a cobra, I had never seen one in person and just appreciated the car for it's coolness. Anybody that is interested, the car is on the same street as Schimpff's candy store (very cool place) about 2 blocks south toward the ohio river.

The owner of Mustangs Unlimited has one sitting in his "museum". He ticked someone off (again) and the door glass got busted out of it. It's far from original and a great little driver with all the upgrades for trouble-free driving. Last I saw it the shattered glass was still on the seats, hasn't been touched since he bought it.

The place that you are talking about on Spring Street in Jeff always has some interesting cars laying around. I honestly have no idea what they do.
I'd also recommend checking out the Come Back Inn on Spring St. (about a block North of Schimpff's) if you haven't already.

Didn't they come with 289 small block Ford engines?
