I was there, and know the guy who restored the car. that is the exact same car! it was completely and totally restored back to what it was when it was racing.
I don't know if this is really the same Tiger or a replica, But I was a crew member on this car in 1969 when it was owned and raced by Ron Dykes. My father Jack Parcells was the crewchief and a team member was Rick Titus. We converted it to a 260 and replaced the Halibrand wheels with Chassis Engineering modular (later known as Cragar SuperTrick wheels). Both were done to meet SCCA class rules as a "C/Prod". Ron won at Riverside in the rain and later sold it to Whit Collins, who crashed it.
What kind of wheels are those? and where can they be bought? They really complete whole package on this one. This is by far the best looking Tiger I have seen. I own one that is almost as nice. Black is the only color in my opinion.
My granddad (Doane Spencer) built the car decades ago, but I've only seen photos. It was really cool to see it move and make some noise! Thanks for posting the video--it would be great to see more. The Tiger looks terrific; well done to everyone involved with the restoration.

Nasty sound - makes mine seem very quiet. Great fender (guard) vents. What are they from?
