Really brings back memories of my first and only Tiger. I bought a '64 back in 1972 for $1100 from a guy in Walnut Creek, CA. 260 V-8 with 2 barrel carb. Dark green in color with Panasport-like wheels. I always enjoyed the V-8 sound from such a little car. Went brave one summer and took a vacation through Tijuana to Ensenada and back to Bay Area. Drove the non-pay road back from Ensenada and the road gave me a whole new meaning to rattles and squeaks I never knew I had. Got very lucky and never needed to pull out the tool bag I took along with me however. Sold the car a few years later for $1700.
