[Tigers] Tiger at Russo & Steele, Saturday afternoon auction

[mwood24020 at aol.com]

Just read what I sent...and wanted to clarify one thing, before anyone  
thinks I'm taking an unfair shot at what is a wonderful Tiger. My "mostly"  
original comment wasn't implying anything other than the fact that it is  
impossible to have a 44 year old car, that has been driven and used, entirely  
"original"...
 
As far as price, while I think the car is one of the better Tigers I've  
seen (if you like the "survivor" type of car), the current atmosphere for  
auctions doesn't seem to support new record type prices, which I believe the  
reserve might be close to...total guess, no real knowledge.
 
It will be interesting, in any case.
 
Mike

The all original (well, mostly) Carnival Red survivor that once  called the 
 
Guerra "Garage Mahal" home is going across the block on  Saturday, I  see.

Any guesses on final bid? I'm not sure, but  given some of the recent  
auction results (general, not Tiger  specific), I'm guessing it doesn't get 
to  
reserve...so, maybe  bidding stalls just north of $50k?

We'll find out on  Saturday...
