VERY cool!!! Hope you have a blast getting everything in shape!![]()
I will!
I was poking through the trunk and found a pair of work boots, a Dremel, and my grandfather's old fedora.
Wow. For a 15 year old, that's about as pimp as it gets! Awesome.![]()
Exactly.
Maybe you should check the carburetor too, as I doubt it has fuel injection. Also I hope all the electric stuff still works. Otherwise that's a really cool car! Don't forget to post pics. Good luck!![]()
I will ASAP. I think it might have FI because that was part of the emissions regulations they did in the 70s, right?
I love those guys!
just think you can cruise from gas station to gas station in style.![]()
Damn straight. I don't care about the mileage, I'm not gonna put more than 5,000 miles on it a year.
I was going to mention this too. Gas gums up pretty quickly. I know old motorcycles more than cars, but when one has been sitting for a few years it usually needs tires, battery, a carburetor cleaning, and sometimes the gas tank needs to be checked for rust.
Will look into that.
Yeah old gas in the tank probably would not help to start the car easily. Don't forget the transmission too, that probably needs to be flushed and checked out.
Also OP- If it's cold where you live during the winter, carb'd cars start differently from modern Fuel Injection cars. Just an FYI.
It's about 65 degrees F now and rarely goes below 23 in the winter.
