[Tigers] Considering selling my Tiger...

[James Lindner]

I would definitely post your Tiger for sale on the the forums of the three major North American Clubs…CAT, TEAE and SAOCA. TEAE also has a Facebook page with over 2000 members and to be honest, gets much more activity than the TEAE forum. I would do both.

If not already a member of these forums, you will need to join them and then follow the rules for posting items for sale. In the case of TEAE, I know you need to post a price.

Sounds like a very nice car. Good Luck.

I am the 3rd owner, purchased the car in 2006 and proceeded to restore at our family's mechanical & body shop over the following 3 years.

The rotisserie restoration saw the car taken down to the bare metal, media / soda blasted, then repainted (Porsche guards red) to a concours level finish.  The underside was painted and clear coated; the underside is nicer than most cars top side. The 289 V8 engine was taken to a high-performance Ford engine builder and dyno’ed with 400+ HP (dyno sheets available); an insane amount for a car weighing nothing.  Everything has been addressed including replacing & upgraded every bolt on the car.

Factory manifolds and an all-new stainless steel exhaust system were installed with DynoMax mufflers. This Tiger has a spectacular soundtrack, both at idle and at full bore.

> Wilwood brakes on all corners to help with the stopping, aluminum rad to help with the cooling (common Tiger issue with such a large engine in a small area).  PanaSport wheels, and tires (with 500km on them), LAT hood, LAT traction bars, frame reinforcement plates from Ken Wilcox installed (also a common weak area on the tiger), along with stronger Tiger Automotive fulcrum pins, new suspension (Koni shocks), steering components brake lines, fuel pump, short shifter, the rare and original air cleaner.  The chrome, stainless trim was replaced / refinished, including the bumpers, new Tiger script, and it proudly wears correct V8 emblems
>  
> The interior is also perfection. The carpets have been replaced, new Moto-Lita wood steering wheel, a new walnut dash with cubby door, upper & lower dash pads, seats and center console reupholstered, and both the speedometer & tachometer are new.  A new convertible top was installed, and this Tiger has the desirable "clam shell" convertible top covers.   An unrestored Tiger hard top is also available.
