Well guys (and any gals who might be viewing).....as I type this, the Road Shark is on its way over to Gary/Wollfen's place to be stored and tinkered on by a fellow who knows these cars far, far better than me *and* does much better work, too! We've been discussing this since shortly after I offered the car for sale. Gary offered to let me keep it there for a very reasonable rate while we got moved and settled up in VA, and as we discussed it also said he could help out with some of the repairs that have stymied me (like getting the @$%&*! thing to RUN reliably).
Through a friend of Gary's, transport was arranged and Will from Cape Fear Auto Transport just headed down the road with the Shark in tow.
I have to say I'm not at all disappointed that it didn't sell (in fact, I didn't get so much as one offer) and I'm glad I took Stan's advice to list it first, worry about the rest later. It gave me some breathing space to deal with everything else going on, and now that the view is beginning to clear a bit, I can see that it's a car worth keeping and enjoying. And it couldn't be in better hands than Gary's, who it turns out after a call today shares some similar interests. Really looking forward to meeting him, knocking down a few brews, talking shop and whatever else.
Will eventually rekindle the Road Shark rebuild thread once there is more to tell. Right now I'm just breathing a big sigh of relief.
Many, many thanks Gary!
