My 68 sat in the garage for 31 years. Life and family got in the way. Well it's finally running. Needs a few small items fixed and the paint needs a good polish. Six pack, hemi box and dana. Thats 31 years of dust on it.

Great feeling for you and great to see. Have fun! I drove my 69 Roadrunner down the road this summer after it sat since I think 1994. The car seemed happy too.

Uhhh... you know, an ice cream run every Sunday will keep the dust off it.

And another returns from hibernation. Great job getting it back up and running, it’s a great feeling to hear that motor again!

I repainted the engine compartment about 10 years ago. It needed some attention. And yes you can make a sixpack fit with a 2 speed wiper!!
