[VAC] '64 GlobeTrotter home from Maine

[John Eckman <jeckman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I didn't think it could be this easy, but thanks in part to the fine advice 
I received from you all, the '64 GlobeTrotter I just purchased in Maine on 
Sunday is home safe and sound in Virginia.

She's a beauty, as expected. And in fine shape with only a few minor 
troubles that'll need attention, mainly plumbing. Interior is in move in 
condition, appliances all work. It pays to buy through friends.

Our borrowed diesel Ford F-250 4x4 was overkill, as expected, but it came 
in handy when backing the GT into a Maine driveway that was solid ice. One 
puzzling thing: the lights on the GT had been updated and the 7-pin plug 
was a match with the stock package on the Ford. Everything worked fine 
except that the brakes on the GT would lock up when we backed it up. We had 
to unplug the harness to free the brakes for reverse (which we were able to 
pretty much avoid until we were home). Is this an ABS braking problem? It's 
a '96 Ford XLT.

Thanks again for all the helpful advice. I'm glad to say that none of the 
scenarios you or I spun out as possible troubles ever materialized, but 
I've rested easier knowing I was prepared.

Take care,

--John
