New Tiger

[atallamcs]

Well, it has been several years since I sold the Black Tiger GT--I have tried to stay in touch with the new owner but he never responds to emails. Anyway, many of you know I plan on building another Tiger, making up for some of the short falls inherent with a Tiger and improving on a few things here and there. My old tiger:

I had the good fortune to find a one-owner 1965 Tiger, rust free and with the factory hard top. Seems he had the vision to buy the car in 65 and held onto until now. I will restore this one and bring it back to its former glory.

Glad to be a Tiger owner again!

Hi Bill,

That is great news and I will be anxiously waiting for those restoration photo's of your new Tiger. It will definately be something to see going by your efforts with your other cars.

Regards, Robin.

The black car is amazing. Attention to detail is stunning.

I am a bit confused being a relative newb. Is the car a Tiger (1964??) or Alpine GT conversion? If so, where did you get all of the Tiger specific parts...a donor Tiger?

Duke,

Bills ex-tiger was one of the 15 IIRC tigers that were GT's. These were early cars when they were still working out the specs.

Bill,

Cool, can't wait to see a whole new set of pictures to drool over.

I'm always amazed (and jealous) of the attention to detail and level of restoration on your cars. Do you do all that work yourself or do you have really good local shop?

Tiger Restoration

Thanks for the nice comments and support. I only do the design work, find the difficult/rare/missing parts. I have a shop in Nevada (Harrahs Auto Museum) that does all the work from the ground up.

Harrahs Auto Museum has the most complete collection of early cars built pre 1900's to 1940's. If your ever in Reno Nevada take the time and go visit the museum you will not be disappointed. Wow no wonder Bill Atalla cars are so museum quality I have seen the museum and WOW now I know!

No longer called Harrah's Auto Museum. Now the National Automobile Museum. On Mill St just east of South Virginia St. in Reno. When you go make sure you stop at Bertha Miranda's Mexican Resturant just a little further east on Mill and across the street.

Combined with the Corvette Museum

Yes they did officially change the name and are in partnership with the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Greens, KY. Since we did the museum delivery with our 06 Pumpkin November 23rd 2005. We were in Reno for Jim's bowing tournament May of this year and I found the museum while looking for something Car related to do. They should promote the National Automobile Museum more, seems the Reno shows, concerts and gambling get all the glitz.
If your ever in Reno or Tahoe, Nevada take time to walk through and see the copper steamer, the first Chevrolet built by a couple of brothers, and the first Model T SUV(camper) package, the cars are perfect and the collection of early cars extensive.

Better promotion

Donna,

Couldn't agree more. Reno does very little to promote the N.A.M. All the times I've been there I've never seen a crowded parking lot. Most of the visitors are ...how do I say this politely?.....older than me....by a bit...
