Years ago I got a 1966 Olds F-85 that way. It had been sitting for a year or so and needed a battery. I rebuilt the carb and replaced the plugs, points and wires. It was a good little car and I never had trouble with it. 2 door, 2 speed automatic with a 330 CID V-8, no A/C.

I still miss it. <snif> :-)

Cheers,
Scott.
