Maybe 2 buckets

I'd turn the hose loose on that car and leave it outside for a bit. There will be all sorts of critters that should be "relocated" before bring it into the house. Wash it with Clorox, mothballs, peppermint oil, just to start with.

Possum stew is great, just kidding but possums give REM to horses and then you put the horse down, lost a young buckskin stallion, kinda hate them. The only good possum is a dead possum. There is a 69 only post going on right now. Make sure yours is in it. An A/C big block convertible. WOW. T

Long story but in short. It took me 4 years to see the car, It was supposed to be a 67 BB , When I opened the barn door it turned into a 69. two more months before I got it it moved.

I don't know who was more surprised me or the Possum. I poked him with my flash light and he took off. I left the hood open and put a watering can is his spot so he never returned.

No Keys , I removed the door lock and glove box lock and got keys made. Next step is to put it on jack stands clean it out and see if I can get the engine to rotate.
