It was clear that Chrysler had a problem with the Ford engine in the car. Their advertising referred to "an American V8". Chrysler put a 5 Year, 50K warranty on the Alpine but wouldn't do the same fo

Uncle Wally talked with me many times. He did say that it was the Feds that killed the Tiger. Particulary the 5mph bumper standard as well as the heigth. He said that Chyrsler did think about raising

Wally was a neighbor, and had a pristine untouched Tiger, that I looked at over the 6 years that I restored my Tiger. During disassembly, and with PO's changes, I did not completely know what a Tiger
