I would concur. Some of those cars (especially the true or "near" Muscle
Cars) if done by anyone else (your average Joe) would be considered to have
lost worth because they deviated from their "original value." It is only
the "Foose" name that likely creates "Added Value." Some of his
"Overhaul-in's" are like the Barris and Roth cars. They have their appeal
for the moment, but shortly there after they are as far "out" as they were
"in." Over the long haul (no pun intended) they might become classics (ala
the current nostalgic appeal of Barris and Roth), but 5 years from now I say
"old hat."
Personally I still think the nicest looking Tigers are rather
straightforward in appearance and have 13" or 14" wheels with 60-70 series
tires. I'm sure there are exceptions and everyone is entitled to their
interpertation of "taste."

> My worst nightmare is for Foose to get hold of my Tiger. (OK, second
worst) He turns cars into everything I don't want. Blastosonic, trunk
filling stereos? It has one under the hood, thanks. Ultra low profile
tires? I really like to be able to run over things like shadows or paint
strips without damaging the rims. Lowering? It's low enough now.
"Drifter" fluorescent paint/graphics jobs? Somehow it wouldn't look right
on a Tiger.

the finished cars border on the impractical. I wonder how many of those
folks keep and drive their cars daily?
