Chris, I think he is far beyond just being cagey. He states, "Tiger""
is an original Alpine 260 converted to a 302 .... There was a Alpine
260, that was a Tiger, so either way he is selling a hoax.
Steves point is well taken, in that why would a owner of a real Tiger
change the spare and tools to a Alpine location.
With Norm's repository of the real Tiger numbers, and his statement re
that it is not, this is pretty convincing evidence, without seeing the
car.
This once again points that the TAC program, has real value, especially
to the prospective owner who does not know, and gets caught up in the
hype of buy the car, shoe phone and all.
