- Couldn't pass this deal up. Its been sitting for over 12 years, so I wanted to gauge what kind of shape it was in.
This is shaping up to be a fun toy!
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the Cadillac, parts are on order....they take a while...
She's a beaut ! ..and it didn't even smoke when it first ran ..BONUS !
Nearly two years ago , I completed my 20th CJ restoration(only CJ's between '77-'86) ..all but three of them had the AMC 304 and only one of those inline6 engines had an automatic trans ..this is a perfect and EASY restoration candidate ..Excellent purchase ..
and we'll be looking forward to seeing more videos on this classic survivor

I was always told to use atf to lube valves. Never heard of using wd40. Great video. Getting old jeeps going that have sat for years is a fun project.
Yeah, I've heard numerous methods. I just prefer to make sure the engine is fully primed with oil before cranking at all. I don't like to use oil in the cylinders if your trying to fire mostly because I am afraid of any damage that can come from too much oil in there. Maybe it would cause a hydrolock type situation? Maybe not...
@@HornbergersHobbies I’m definitely no expert.
I use 2 stroke fuel available in most hardware stores to start old engines, pure gas and some oil to lube up the valves and rings. Looks like a neat project, could easily sink slot of money into it.
Yeah, I was planning on that, but I ran out of 2 stroke oil...so I used what I had
