This is a cool thread. I could read this stuff all day. Back when I had a 68 Cougar (2002) I found this one in Evenston IL. It had been sitting in a garage since 1978. LIterally untouched or seen in all those years. The dust was about 1 inch thick all over it, four flat tires and we had to drag it onto the trailer because the drums had rusted solid. Got it home, cleaned it up and put some Marvel Mystery Oil in the plug holes. About a week later, changed the plugs & Cap & Rotor and it fired up and sounded great. No Smoke, knocks or anything......Not a bad find for $800....
