Back in 2018 I bought it from a gentleman in Northern Illinois. He archived it back in 1999 so it sat in his barn for nearly two decades. As you can see in the photos it has the barn find look. I got it for a reasonable price, its 98% complete and except for the carpet the interior is original and has no rips or tears. I bought it the weekend before Mothers day and caught hell for working on it on Mothers day, oops.

The car came with a list of what needed fixed in the glove box along with some photos and an article about how to avoid having an ignition switch meltdown. More on that in a later post. The first thing was to get it running so first thing I did was pull the plugs one at a time, inspect for color and number them so if there was a problem cylinder we could identify it later. Odd thing was that they all looked like they had just been cleaned, not sitting for 19 years and they were oily, but clean oil. I scoped each cylinder wall and they were all oily and shinny. It appeared that it was fogged like a boat motor when it was put away. It was loose and would turn. I scoped the gas tank and it had been drained and was not rusty, sweet. I put Marvel oil down each cylinder four days in a row. We gassed her up. Blew off, gapped and reinstalled the plugs. Replaced the points, cap, condenser, dropped in a new battery and cranked her over with the coil wire off. Once we had oil pressure the coil wire went back on ,a small dump of fuel down the carb and after a few cranks it fired up and ran, and it ran well. Once it warmed up and we verified there were no leaks we revved it up several times and got mouse condo after mouse condo out the exhaust for days. OK, so technically I got a cool little driver. Brake inspection, wheels and tires next post.
