[Tigers] 1967 Tiger on ebay

[Steve Laifman]

Mark,

Good point on buyer's view.  However, looking at the TV car auctions, 
the price that "Resto-Mods" of non-original replicars are selling for, 
the Tiger ought to be more.  On the other hand, there do not appear to 
be many foreign cars, or real sports cars at those auctions.  Maybe 
today's set of collector's are too enthralled with the cars they saw as 
youths, and sports cars were not amongst them.
