Lord Rootes Tiger for Sale?

[at the beach]

I've heard a rumor that Dale A is handling the sale of long time CAT members Ed and Karen Foster's gorgeous butterscotch Lord Rootes winning Tiger. (I've heard the hood louvers were created by Kenny (Von Dutch) Howard himself.)

I hope this wonderful & historic example of our marque finds a worthy home.

Plates

Wow look at the plate digits between Ed's old car and the former Lee's car in familiar car in G.T.D. Lee was searching for where and when that car was sold. "they both have close numbers" this is of particular interest as my car VWG 942 and another are close but not that close.

Beautiful car and understand very solid. Will be interesting to see what a top quality car will go for in today's market. I was looking at the profile of the car on BaT and noticed the Pentastar on the passenger fender. It made me wonder whether my Mk1a should have a Pentastar, as it doesn't. That car is #2035 and mine is #1967 so wondering at what VIN number the Chrysler logo started.

For what it's worth, my car is 1397 and has the pentastar.

Very nice car

I had a chance to peek in person yesterday at the STOA meet. New owner (Bob) had the top off and was very happy about his new to him car. I forgot to check the valance, but a number of helpful comments for him should he choose anything other than just enjoyment with it right now...

Have to admit I'm partial to yellow as pops had this one painted in early 1970s close to 914-6 livery in yellow w/ black stripes.

Its in good hands, with someone who wishes to be a good caretaker and already club active.

Bring a Trailer charges $99 for the listing and a 5% fee to the buyer (capped at $5000). The seller's only other cost is photography and marketing.
