77 Corvette Sits for 10 years
Hey all, I have a 77 stingray that has been sitting covered in my driveway for the past ten years. The speedometer stopped working, and the car hasn't been started since.
What I would like to know is what steps do I need to take to start the car, and what do I need to do to make it "drive-able". The first thing I thought was the hoses and belts would be dry rotted, but when I looked under the hood, they all looked and felt fine. My next guess would be to flush the gas, oil, and transmission. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Battery
New gasoline
Check condition of carburetor - probably needs cleaning/rebuild
Check all fluid levels
Check for oil pressure
Fire it up.
This could get your operable, not safely drivable.
Good luck.
