Stratman , ty was a good read ! I did do allot of googling but never came across this.

So I decided to start a thread for my bird . Cars been sitting for 8 to 10 years in a small shed in upstate NY . I just recently towed her to NC where I live . First order of biz was to see if she runs . Drained gas , changed oil , plugs , wires , I used an eye dropper full of marvel mystery oil in each cylinder head and hand turned the crank pulley to make sure she wasent locked up from sitting. Oh brand new battery of course . Long behold the beast started and runs like it is 1969 . Did some digging . It is not the original paint at least not all of it . Compression test today see what i got then the engine will be pulled to get repainted and whatever else it needs . Whole body needs repaint . Interior is in really great shape after a clean up the drivers seat is the only place that has a small rip . Very excited !!! received_2539699169388458.mp4
