A late 66 or end-run 67 would be a Tiger II - one of the last versions made. 289 with a two-barrel carb. Also was available with a "LAT" package. LAT was the high-peformance options - kind of like SS for Chevy. Special Jeep posi-rear, aluminum wheels, hood scoop, ladder-traction bars, and probably more I've forgotten about. Might of been a hot-cam and four-barrel setup available.
Chrysler ruined all the Rootes/Sunbeam/Simca and Hillman lineup in the USA. They did make a new "Avenger Tiger" and "Sunbeam TI" years later with a four-cylinder engine and it was a flop, I guess.
They sold a few cars with the British four-cylinder engines, but kind of forget what they were called. Plymouth Cricket in 71 maybe, or the Dodge Colt? I know I robbed an engine out of one and stuck it in my 67 Alpine. Same 1725 cc engine but had a single Americanized carb instead of dual British carbs. Soon after, Mopar started using Jap engines in things like the "Silent Shaft Arrow" and the British stuff was all dropped. I lost track at that point.
Sunbeams - Rapiers, Alpines and Tigers were really nice cars. Unlike many Triumphs, Austin Healys, and MGs, they had luxuries e.g. roll-up windows, heaters that worked, windscreen washers (worked by a foot pump) and dimmers on the dash-lighs with fold-down, non-electronic shades.
