This is an interesting topic to me.

Belts, rubber, tires, hoses & plastics tend to disintegrate over the course of decades - that I was led to believe anyways...

And gasoline? I thought gasoline tended to turn into "varnish" after about 6 months.

Cool find though.

13 miles? Sounds like bad luck haha, but this is a very cool barn find.

I wonder what ever happened to the one that was stolen at my local Chevy dealership when I was a kid.

I belive the seals and rubber will need to be addressed. And I've started cars with 8 yr old or so gas, never tried 33. If it was me, I would have trailered it home, put it in the air and change ALL fluids. But that is seriously awesome!!!0
