Well, if it really is an Alpine, I would think that the auction and Rick
Davis would at least identify it honestly. BTW, this Rick Davis had a tent
just to house the cars he was selling. There must have been 65-70 cars and
I couldn't see many that I thought was go for less than
$50K. He could end up with enough money to buy that personally owned
Shelby Cobra that sold a few years back......$4M+.

Cool car, but there's no Tiger DNA in that chassis.
