Default It lives

Got our 85 out of hibernation tonight. It's been covered u in an unheated barn since mid November. Put a full tank of hi test and had the oil changed in the fall, just before we put it away and put a memory saver on it as the barn's owner did not want the battery in it (he had a 67 coupe right in front of ours). Put the battery back in and buttoned it up. Started on third crank and ran great all the way home. Everything was working. Now if we can the sand, etc off the roads....

I know how you feel. My garage is unheated and I went out and uncovered the car and did my inspections and fired it up over the weekend. Boy was that nice. Insurance is back on it as of next Wednesday so I'll be sure to take my daughter for a ride as she has been asking since it's been uncovered.

Good to hear that everything was in good shape and that you'll be back on the road soon.
