1967 EBAY AZ Tiger
- Thread starter norm1
- Start date
No original VIN so we can't be sure - but - it's not a '67 unless they have done some major remodeling to the soft top boot.
The "replacement VIN" number does not match that model car.
I've sen the conversion from a '65 MK I metal enclosed soft top boot to the later MK IA / MK II soft top boot but never visa versa.

TACed too
The car is TAC'ed too. It shows on STOA list as a Med Blue code 100 car.
This car was sold at auction and has been bouncing about. The car has a state issued ID.
Sure the DMV hack forgot the B and the LRXFE but that's what they do.
Yes, this seller could dig a little deeper to find some Med Blue paint or do a little easy research. It is interesting how the car ended up with the tin tops for the conv. top on a later car.
Wonder why no picture of the TAC triangle is provided?
Car was first sold in 1967 and titled as such as they did it here in Cali.
For example,
I have a 1965 Honda CB160 that has a mfg tag on the wiring harness showing 1965 date. It is titled as a 1969 when it was first sold.

Would be nice is someone expects a person to pay 35k for a car that you could take the time to post more than one picture.

Ok, Warren says I had a senior moment. I missed the link. I say he still needs pictures on the sale page.

Brave
Only that brave as I am several states away, I think I have them more and more too.
The link is embedded further down the listing.
This car is most often upsetting to some as it has a MK2 script on the hood and no side trim.
A lot can happen to a car since 1998 I would not rely on any car salesman's word for anything. This one can't find the code 100 Med blue that the TAC inspector found in 98

TAC and Title Issues
The seller added that "there is a CoA sticker with matching number 278 on the underside of the car." I assume he/she means the TAC sticker. But I did not know that TAC stickers were ever placed on "the underside of the car". The color of the car has changed since the TAC inspection. Was the original TAC sticker masked off and the paint was applied around it? One has to ask what happened to the original VIN plate since the car had been TAC inspected. California, which installed the current VIN plate, issues a SALVAGE title to a car that has been declared a total loss, so that every subsequent buyer knows what they are getting. Not all other states do so. One way to get the word SALVAGE to go away from the title is to register it in a different state (or sell it to someone in a different state). I have no way of telling if that was the situation in this case, but it just raises another caution flag.
Were I considering this car, I would probably pay for another TAC inspection before paying the money for it. Requiring a successful passing of a TAC inspection could be made part of an offer to "BUY IT NOW". I don't see how a reputable dealer would object to that, just like you might want to get a rare painting authenticated before you pay for it.

Old link
http://catmbr.org/VB_forum/showthread.php?t=2769
this thread also goes back to link to DD's posting when he saw it in Scottsdale.
The new seller did not have a clue the TAC data base shows it was once a Med Blue car I PM ed him on eBay . That number was either in paint or on the missing tag who knows when TACed. This seller grammar is very bad so I understand the underneath.
Cobrakidz if the ugly duckling beater can find a new loving home so can this old maid.
But as Holycat points out do your homework, or find someone to do your homework for you. There are better fish in the sea for me. If someone asked me this car would be way down on my go see list.
