I know an owner who bought a rusted out Tiger with the intent of restoring
it. When he got into it, he got really discouraged, swapped all the Tiger
parts into one of his Alpines and junked the Tiger. He sold the Alger
telling the buyer that it was an Alpine, but then gave him the Tiger VIN to do
with whatever he wanted. Not sure why, but my guess it was to add a little
sugar to the deal.
Who knows what will happen in the future with that car, but Norm now has
the VIN number so much of the community will be made aware if someone tries
to pass it off.

I'll be real blunt. If you have no intent for fraud, you would not put the
transfer the Tiger VIN plate onto the Alpine. You would leave the Alpine
VIN intact.

> Alan, You could probably buy this Alger for the same (or a little more)
money than you paid for your Tiger....and you wouldnt have any work or
expense restoring it....it would feel EXACTLY the same going down the road. I
think it will sell for close to 20k as it is a nice example.....Typically
an Alger is about 1/2 in selling price than an original car....this ebay
listing shows that when they are sold most owners wil say what it is....I
never plan to sell mine, it will pass on to my daughter and then her child one
day....but I have instructed her that if it is ever sold for some reason
that it is a clone and not a factory v8 car. Also I personally informed
Norm with my vin as an Alger years ago when I started the project. Just
because a clone car has Tiger badges and vin does not mean it will be sold
frauduantly.... mike Schreiner
