My 1981 wagon had a strong engine but no AC and the front end finally let the tires spread out at the bottom so much that I was afraid to drive it... It sat for 18 months without being touched. TxBill wanted it and he brought a good battery over from Houston and put it in... he did absolutely nothing to it except the battery....I would have drained the fuel and put good in at the very least.... I swear it started within a second and half.... I was amazed... but he was not... then he drove it home against my advise... but it made it ok....
