In 1964, the Rootes Group, a British automobile manufacturer, released the Sunbeam Tiger. The Tiger was a high-performance, V8 engine version of their Sunbeam Alpine roadster, and it was partly designed by famous American car designer and racer, Carroll Shelby.
The Sunbeam Tiger was produced from 1964 to 1967, with two major versions: the Mark I, which had a 260 cu in V8 engine, and the Mark II, which featured a larger, 289 cu in engine. Two modified versions of the Sunbeam Tiger Mark I were designed to compete in the 1964 24 Hours of LeMans race, but neither finished the race. Once the Rootes Group was purchased by Chrysler in 1967, production of the Tiger ended soon after.
1969 TVR Vixen 1600 S1
The 1969 TVR Vixen was produced by British automaker, TVR, between 1967 and 1973. The Vixen was a hand-built sports car that used a four-cylinder Ford engine, and weighs a little over 1600 pounds. The trusted little car can reach 60 mph in under 10 seconds, and has a maximum speed of 110 mph.
Even though it features a 1950's chassis, the fiberglass Vixen S1 can be handled quite easily, which is why it became a favorite British sports car back in the day.

The all-American Rambler had a stiff suspension, dual exhausts, a heavy-duty clutch, great cooling system, quick and easy steering, cool-air induction and Goodyear Polyglas tires.
As for the aesthetics, the 1969 Rambler had chrome hood tiedowns, teardrop=shaped rearview mirrors, a woodgrain steering wheel, reclining front seats, special body paint, and a gorgeous, all-vinyl upholstery. The car was a beautiful piece of machinery, to say the least.

The Flaminia was a two-door, four-headlight model that had a decreased wheelbase, which meant there was only space for two seats.
1964 Pontiac Tempest LeMans GTO
The legendary 1964 Pontiac Tempest was the first commercially available muscle car, marketed toward younger generations that wanted a vehicle to "look cool in". Its 215 cu inch six-cylinder engine made it roar like a beast, which was obviously a huge hit among young people.
