Default Start Up routine after 30+ year hibernation??
I have recently inherited a 64 Impala SS327 Convertible that my grandmother bought brand new. The car hasn't seen the road since the mid 1970's, 59K miles on the clock. It's been in heated, ambient storage all this time. I am looking for a checklist for getting the car ready to start again. I thought about the usual suspects, new plugs and maybe a carb rebuild. Any recommendations for getting it ready to fire after sitting so long? Here's a few pics as she sits now.
