Does anybody have a good tiger body laying around for sale cheap? I'd like
to get a better body for my Series IV Auto ALPINE and the tiger is the only
other car that has a big enough transmission tunnel to fit the Alpine
Automatic. I would hate to destroy this series IV Automatic as it is even
rarer than a Tiger...only 3000 were produced. Thanks in Advance
