[Tigers] Low mileage Tiger sold.

[Gary Pointer]

Interesting that:
1) The Bonham pre-auction estimate stated $90-$120K. Seller must be disappointed. I thought Bonham results were usually close to their estimate. 22,000 miles shown.
2) Red Tiger at Barrett-Jackson, lot 1265, was in superb condition, but 99,000 miles? Dunno how it was kept so mint. But it sold for $77K + fees.

Barrett-Jackson average sale price was $66K.
Bonham average sale price was $347K.
So maybe there aren’t enough poor men at Bonhams interested in a “poor mans cobra”?
