Car has been sitting for 10 years

My dart sat for 4 years in a garage in So Cal about 3 miles from the beach. It had a 1/2 tank of fuel the entire time. I knew I would be rebuilding the carb, draining the tank, replacing hoses etc. but figured let's see if it fires. I sprayed starter fluid in the carb, and gave it a crank. Another spray, and it fired up. Good oil pressure, and to my surprise it kept running. Following weekend took it to be snogged, passed no problem. 3 weeks later I removed the carb to rebuild, didn't need a wrench to remove it or disassemble as the gaskets were that dried out.

Moral to the story... Unless you can see an obvious issue fill the fluids and fire it up.
