I am looking at a 65 Tiger with a 289 that the PO used to autocross in the
late '70's. 
Question 1) It has LAT rear flairs (he says), and some other kind of front
flairs.  Is that good ?/ Were LAT flairs sold as an aftermarket add on or did
they only come on them original?
2)   Has 3:31 posi rear end, does that limit drivability if I want to use it
as a weekender / occasional car? (i.e. squirrly and eats tires)
3)  Checked with my insurance company about liability coverage (reasonable)
but what is usually done about collission and comprehensive? (Regular policy
covers NADA book value.  I haven't checked but I am sure it is WAY below
market) "Sorry about your crumpled Tiger sir, here's a check for $250."
4)  Is it a bad idea to buy someones old autocrosser since it has probably
been thrashed a lot.  I would never thrash a Tiger ;>)

Thanks,

Chris Mottram
