Mind if we ask how much?

I left out at 2am on Sunday, drove to Staten Island and loaded her up on a trailer, then headed back home through the storms that smacked the east coast this weekend. Ended up trying to find gas in northern DC / Maryland with the power out to the entire area. Almost ran out of gas since the streets and interstates were a parking lot. Ended up getting home are 9pm to unload then drive for another hour and 1/2 round trip to drop off the trailer. I'm getting too old for that type of trip but she is now how in my garage with the temp tags on.
Yesterday the wife and I ran a few errands including DMV and I spent a few hours in the late afternoon / evening working on a few thing like flushing the motor and basic tune-up stuff (timing was off and oil was totally beat). She's a pretty strong runner but has an exhaust leak that's causing a slight lope. I'll be putting that fix off for quite a while since you have to drop the engine to get to the rear bank.
I just love this car but had forgotten just how low they sit. Man it's a cool feeling going 55mph with your butt less than 6 inches off the road. Thanks for trying to help me find my dream car on a budget guys. Now I get to go through the process of making her a show-quality ride that gets to see regular road time. That'll be another thread taking place over many years...
