Ebay 1966 Tiger, Project car

[BGlover67]

Not mine, but interesting.  You don't find project Tiger's much these days.  They also claim matching numbers.  This 'Beverly Hills Car Club' outfit seems to find some the sorriest looking cars, this car is no exception.    They also have a rusted out '71 Pantera for $35k, and a string of Amphicars.  Brake out the bondo!

Interesting stuff! Except for the color and engine/trans, their red 57 T-bird really reminds me of my daily driver in college, it had a transplanted 302/T-10 which made it a much better balanced car.

I see a Brinks Truck full of money being poured into this one, but saw a worse looking one at Ford Carlisle a few years back for $12,500.
I've always wanted a Tiger, just not one like that one
I do have a neighbor who has one. he bought I new when he got back from Vietnam in 1966. He took the 260 out and had a "friend" rebuild it, but both the friend and the 260 disappeared so now its got a 289 of undetermined vintage in it. Its been repainted Red (and a not so good repaint) I think it was originally green, sits on a rack in his garage and in 31 years I've never seen it out of the garage. Don't ask, its not for sale, needs a  total redo, as its rough and needs everything updated, appears to have minimal rust from what I can see from the road. I'm hoping he wants to get rid of it one day, but judging by his garage he never gets rid of anything

I thought the whole idea of a "California car" was that there wouldn't be any rust? 
Wow, that would take either LOTs of time or the aforementioned Brinks truck full-o-cash to make anything drive-able.

There have been a few much nicer examples for sale recently (BaT, etc) that would seem better places to start.

There are a couple of noted sellers that bought up allot of the rusty out of state and ocean side cars that many of us choose not to consider. They have been selling them off for a number of years. Like allot of cars it comes down to where they were originally delivered, how they were used and where/how they were stored.

I think the $27,500.00 price was just a typo in the ad.   The decimal point was supposed to be two places further to the left.

A few more years and it will be a parts car again.
