Dave,
I had my car TAC'd at an event where inspectors were doing this. As I
recall, Tom Hall was the senior inspector, and and had two certified
inspectors with him. The car in your question MAY have had a certified
inspector, but it could NOT have been TAC'd without more official
inspectors. The "TAC" (Tiger Authentication Committee
<http://www.stoa-tigerclub.com/>) statement appears invalid. See the
STOA web page at the link for an official description and criteria.
Your questions are answered!
*/Once the Release of Liability is signed, the authentication process
may proceed. Three TAC inspectors (one of whom must be a Senior
Inspector) shall examine the vehicle. The inspectors will be identified
on the Fact Sheet. The inspectors shall examine as many elements of
factory methodology as they feel are sufficient to reach a conclusion
about the authenticity of the vehicle.

The OFFICIAL answer is detailed
http://www.stoa-tigerclub.com/ Under link "Authentication", as well as a list
of TAC'd vehicles VIN# and TAC#, and last known location/owner.
AND YES, a genuine Tiger with a Chevy Big Block can be Certified as having
rolled off the Jensen Assembly Line" originally. (Not forgetting those rare
South African violets, either.
Here is the complete list at Norman Miller's site:

Hope this helps,
