thanks for the tips on spotting and learning curve everybody. I previously had a TJ w 2.5" lift and was very impressed with the ability offroad, I just am a bit cautious about KK IFS componets and their capabilities. we are going to Ocotillo Wells and the Truckhaven 4x4 jeep park next weekend, I will push a little harder!
BMXer 524, yes the tiger has owned me for 19 years, mine is modified for autocross with 5 liter replacing original 260 suspension , 5 speed and 4:10 tru trac rear end. The car is pretty scary till you learn to steer with the throttle. 86" wheelbase! Shelby put the first one together for Sunbeam.
It is a labor of love, parts are getting tougher to find, example: original air cleaner $800, chrome fender trim, $4000. crazy. it gets a lot of attention wherever you go and values are going up right now. Great car! watch out if you buy one, lots of Alpine clones around and it can be hard to ID a real one. check with CAT or one of the other clubs before buying, there is a registry that can help ID fakes. My wife says I'm stuck in the 60's, 1964 wife, '65 tiger, '66 Cal 40 sailboat..( the wife is the fastest one!!)
