Once we get about 5 or 6 serious collectors of historical Shelbys sold
on the Tiger connection, the historical cars will likely take off.
Right now I think we're seeing the result of the "grass roots"
collectors gaining interest, which has been fueled by a growing number
of folks shelling out for high end restorations on their Tigers, and
lesser cars values being pulled up under the overly optimistic notion
that it wouldn't cost much to bring a decent Tiger up to the same level
of finish.
