Theo,
I agree. Prudence is what I want to suggest, and if Norm were to reference
the listed VIN with a conversion, he would likely say something. As I said,
this may be a Tiger, I don't know. It's just that lots of things about it
and the seller "bother" me. You mentioned one of them, that it's a rust
free Texas car with lots of panels replaced. Also, the seller does not
answer any questions directly; instead, he asks questions in response to
questions.
Speaking of Dale's front end, what exactly is that and how much does it
cost? He mentioned to me a very elaborate modification at the tune of
several thousand dollars (well beyond my reach). Thanks. Mauro
