An Alpine would not have a JAL number.
I think what you meant is a TAC certification. CAT is the So. Cal Tiger club.
You are correct; it is a CAT. After it is certified as being a real Tiger, they will affix a CAT (which is a tag attached to the frame).

The triple black car that I am looking at has the Sunbeam serial number and the corresponding JAL number. But it doesn't have a CAT (someone could have taken a wrecked Tiger and converted an Alpine to a Tiger). It does seem to be the real thing (complete with the Tiger air cleaner [$500 on eBay]).

Sine I live in the south, I can buy the triple black car to use as a rally car---and also as my sauna. I'll become healthier.
