John,

it looks like I am going to come up a couple of hundred dollars short of what it is going to take to buy this one. I went ahead and bid on it knowing that you could make up the difference! I figure with you driving and me wrenching, we can get the old girl into the high 8s. You have my mailing address to send the check for your part of the eBay purchase price. In case you had already planned to buy the car on your own, just let me know and I'll retract my bid.

I'm a firm believer that 'going fast makes me feel younger', but going down the drag strip in 8.0 seconds is a little fast for this 72 year old. Looks like this one is best suited for you. I hope that your bid is accepted.
