Well the storm damage and subsequent delays changed the auction
schedule considerably and the Tiger didn't get on stage until about 5
PM yesterday afternoon. By that time the crowd had thinned and many
had already headed for home. The bidding on the Tiger and Brad's
other two cars did not make his reserves, so he will be taking all of
them home. Probably a lot of unhappy campers as a result of this
stormy event, including the insurance companies.

Actually, it came up about 3:45 (earlier than the revised schedule).
I was able to watch it live from their website. I don't know how many
bidders were still there but by the time the Tiger came up, they were
really whipping them through, it only got a couple minutes.
It got a bid of $44K.

Some comments (not exact quotes but what I can remember) by Drew
the auction owner:
"I have owned several of these"
"You can't get an interior this nice except from the factory" (I guess he
never heard of Martha Wheat or Paul Reisentz)
"It has all the original ID tags and even a BAR sticker" (wonder why it
had that?)
"Some people try to make baby Cobra's out of these but they are best
left stock"

And the best one:
"This should sell for $90K"

Wow, and $44k didn't meet the reserve?

Mark- you forgot the BAR sticker. As I jest. I have no guess what reserve was
or should have been but the more it brought the higher the value of other
Tigers became and I think a Survivor does increase the value to collectors as
opposed to people like me- called owners.There will be another aucion with
less wind and perhaps higher bids.

While I have no doubt that the weather...umm..."dampened" enthusiasm, I do
n't know that the car would have made reserve, in any case. Prices seemed to
be really soft at the auctions this year, which isn't too surprising given
the general economic environment. My best, preauction guess was somewhere
around $50k bid and I think the car is worth more than that to the owner.
