Default Re: Engine in the car for decades.

My 1937 Ford sat in storage for about 50 years with an engine that operated fine when parked. The car went into storage in the early 60s and was reportedly started in 1990. The car again sat for over 20 more years before I bought it. The engine was free and turned. Marvel Mystery Oil used for a few weeks. Once the fuel and spark issues were addressed, the car started right up and has run pretty good since then. This how it looked when I got it home.


Good luck with the car. I hope you can get it going without too much trouble.
