Cars that sit awhile.

-
Here's another reason not to leave 'em sitting for long periods. These are out of the original 40k mile engine from my 76 Ventura.

The car sat for 18 years before I got it, I went through it thoroughly before putting it on the road, but it doesn't get driven much and often takes a fair amount of cranking to get it started. We can no longer get ethanol free fuel here in Canada and it does evaporate. I pulled the motor out and dropped in another one that I have, got all new bearings for this one, but no hurry to get it back together, it's just a 260 cube Oldsmobile, and the other one is a 350, so I can have a little more fun with it.
 
Thanks.
I have a 67 Dart that sits awhile too. I usually do get to start it before the battery charge gets too low.
This Duster was on its way to becoming a cool car.
Then it sat. I’m slowly getting to it.

These wheels sure look better than skinny black steel 15” stock ones.

I need to install the headlights and grille.

I barely missed out on a repro Sharktooth grille a FABO member posted here for sale. That would really fancy up the car.
