[Tigers] Tiger auction cars

Lots of typos in the description. Gil Baumgartner did the resto. He's up in either Fairfield or Vacaville (I can't remember exactly,?but I drove up with Bo to drop of the Mk II). Gil is a T-bird expert, not Tiger, and needed lots of input from Norm Miller to pull the resto together. The car is a very nice example, in my opinion.

The car evidently sold for $165 plus commission(s) at Monterey. In general, the sell through and prices at Monterey were flat, best case...although some (mostly those rooting for higher prices) may disagree with my assessment ;)

  Getting back to the description of the car, I know who Bo Cheadle was, I know Norm, I'm guessing that 'Don' Walters was just a slip of the key and is really Dan Walters. Anyone acquainted with "mark specialist Todd Bumgartner" ? Should I add him to the list containing Dale, Paul, Norm, Bill, Chris(in Arcata), etc?

        That shows the possible problem with buying a car like this.?  It's too nice to drive.? To drive it will devalue it.? But if it's not  driven then it's probably going to be stored as this car was. Store it too long  and then it has to go in for a " superb cosmetic and mechanical  freshening".???Also, "this service included  pulling, cleaning and recoating the gas tank, a carburetor rebuild and general  tune."?
 Just give me my old driver and I'm happy ;-)?
