It fired right up!

It’s been sitting since last spring.
The most recent wind storm blew the cover off and it sat for a week or so uncovered.
Today was a nice and balmy 40F. So, I went out to put the cover back on and decide to give it a bit of exercise.

It took a few cranks to get the fuel going, but then it fired right up.
Gotta love an old MOPAR.

I’ll get some tires on them for the spring.

Dad's were mostly 60's, 63 300 66 300 (that turned into my first car) 68 I think was the NYer, the imperial may have been early 70's
Dad & his partner (auto parts store) got one about every three years, partner was the salesman & on the road most of the time, He got the new one, dad took the used one, put much less milage on.

Digging the upholstery.

When I went to see it for the first time, I wasn’t overly excited to buy it until I opened the door and saw that. Then, it was like a forgone conclusion.
