This car was warehouse stored for 25 years. We had it towed it to our shop and started the process of getting it running. It runs very smooth, the engine and transmission are in excellent shape, it shifts well and has all the power..starts right up, no leaks, shifts-brakes-turns smoothly.
This is some of the steps we took to get it running, Hand turn engine over and oil from the top down. performed two oil and filter changes. Replaced valve cover gaskets, hard and brittle. Changed transmission oil and rear seal. Removed gas tank and cleaned, rebuild original Rochester carburator, replaced fuel pump and filter, fuel lines and clamps.
