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
