Great looking Coronet Tim! Thank you for sending pics for us to
enjoy.
Once you start “cleaning/flushing/inspecting” you will make progress
quickly; time does takes its toll on all parts. Most likely the varnish
from old gas and water in brake lines from Winter to Summer condensation may
necessitate some R&R but let us know how we may help you.

Hi everyone! here are a few pictures of when i
picked it up at my moms. Was a cold day and the brakes were stuck. Once i got
the brakes to free up i had no brakes so it was an interesting time getting it
from the garage to the trailer. In the past i would go over and start the car a
few times a year. It hasn't run since around 2005 as i lost track of it. All i
had to do was clean the points and it fired up on some gas i dumped down the
carb. it accually ran on the gas that was in the tank. Didn't run good but it
ran. i put 5 gallons of premium in to hopefully bring it back a little. I am
planning on dropping the tank and possibly just replacing the tank and all the
soft lines. I will pull the carb and freshen it up. I will change oil and flush
the coolant system. I may be installing an aluminum radiator to help it cool
better. i know it would get warm if i idled it in the past. -- On Wednesday, April 4, 2018 at 10:35:26 PM UTC-5, The 1962 to 1965 Mopar Mail List Clubhouse wrote:
