Man, you want to hear a good one? Well, I've been thinking I'd wait as long as it took to find my Excal, when out of nowhere, a 66 Corvette convertible falls in my lap. Matching #, 4 spd, 327 350hp, Factory side pipes, loaded with documentation and a GREAT deal. I pulled the trigger on it last week. Here's where the story gets good. I was in Kansas City on Friday at a car auction and there was an f'ing blue 95 Excalibur Cobra. Blue, A/C, top, 6k miles. EVERYTHING I wanted. It was a little edgy, A/C did not work, but a little TLC would have made it an amazing car. Needless to say, I'm out of money, but I still bid it up to $28k with intentions of selling it or the Vette. It sold for a few hundred over that. I'm pretty sure it will be popping up on eBay in a week or two. The guy that beat me out on the bid has been mentioned in this forum before.

I went over the car with a fine tooth comb if anyone wants my take. I'm certain it will be all over the internet for sale shortly.

So much for my patience
