Re: Won an Ebay auction..........now what?
[ QUOTE ]
I'm kind of excited and scared at the same time. [/ QUOTE ] I felt the same way, the day after I married my ex-wife.

Re: Won an Ebay auction..........now what?
On the surface, I think you're OK. The '73's are good, attractive cars. If the chassis is sound and the motor is the original one you'll be fine. I read the description fast and didn't see anything about the original engine. Enjoy it with the tops off.

I am headed to Michigan this Sunday to get the car. I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on trailering a car with a car cover. I have always been told that it's a no-no since the wind buffeting could cause the cover to rub the paint. Is this true?

Re: Won an Ebay auction..........now what?
Never trailer with a car cover, unless it's an enclosed trailer. You will have no paint on any of the edges of the body panels when you arrive. Plus, think of the lawsuit that will ensue when the car cover flies off your car and lands on the windshield of a schoolbus full of nuns and orphans.

Re: Won an Ebay auction..........now what?
No car cover. The cover moving around from the wind will rub paint off as you go down the road, at least thats the stories I've heard.
