After reviewing each picture (link from Michael), and the prices paid 
for resto-trucks and flat beds, I've concluded that there is no 
accounting for taste.

The Tiger was in junk-yard state before restoration.  I guess the value 
of something truly is in the eye of the beholder.

"Wow, that is some good-looking gal!"

Reply:
"Yes, she had the area's best plastic surgeon, and those "D" inserts are 
the finest money can by.  Just don't ask her to smile, or her face will 
shatter!"

That being said, consider a Tiger with a re-finish of a faded color 
paint and in otherwise factory original condition.  What might it sell 
for? At last we (after the fact) now understand the transformation.

My take on this is, if a heavily damaged and "rebuilt" Tiger sells for 
that, what might be the market value for a prime, original, unmolested 
Tiger?
