Re: Oops... What am I gonna do when I get home?
If you don't want it I know someone who has been looking and might be interested?

I'm sure this isn't the first car your wife doesn't know about!

Re: Oops... What am I gonna do when I get home?
If she really isn't happy about it contact me. I'm not saying I will buy it, but I could have some interest. If the car is as described the price isn't a gift. nor is it entirely too much. I have been stung and pleasantly surprised with sight-unseen purchases and promised myself to not do it again. Maybe the transporter could stop in Maryland on the way to Canada.

Re: Oops... What am I gonna do when I get home?
It is tempting to hit the "bid" button sometimes. I was hot on a car this week and called the owner before bidding. I wanted to bid a safe price after our converastaion, but I thought about the consequences of actually getting the car and possibly being unhappy, so I held back. The car did sell quickly, but after my 442 ebay experience (even though it was a great car), I thought I had better go look first.

Re: Oops... What am I gonna do when I get home?
Whew, everything is ok on the home front... she said I can keep it!
I'm kinda having deja vu from when a puppy followed me home as a kid. I've received copies of dealer documentation and the trim tag, and the car is looking better all the time. If I had a week to spare, I'd fly down and drive the car back from Florida. Can I interest anyone in the following: Canadian documented 1968 El Camino SS L78, M22, 488 posi, buckets with headrests, 6k rolling tach & gages. Needs restoration, but running/driving. 1970 Firebird - Lucerne Blue with Blue interior, totally rust free survivor - good driver, in fact, wheelhop drove it from Chicago up to Montana for me a few years ago. Unfortunately they've gotta go. I'll be listing them soon with more details.

Re: Oops... What am I gonna do when I get home?
This may help get the car somewhat closer to the Canadian border
