Gauge is on order and being picked up tomorrow night.  For now though, the car's off the road (once again  ) and in the panel shop getting the ass-end fixed up.
I think it could be a combination of excess heat (won't know for sure yet until the gauge is in) and a bubble in the system. If it is a bubble though, why was it ok for 3 weeks without showing itself? 
I took notice of it last night as the car was shutting off, and again this morning when I got to work. Same deal. The radiator bottle is almost full and when the car shuts off, there's excess air that's being released causing bubbles in the bottle. Before the bottle was so full when it was hot that the bubbles pushed out the water out the relief hole in the bottle cap. Today the water level never moved as the bubbles were pushing through the water/coolant in the bottle. When I checked it 2 hours later, sure enough, the level was on the LOW line  and the coolant in the radiator was at the radiator cap level.
Steve, it's a completely rebuilt import engine, no wrecker-jobbies here...
