When I rented my hangar I found a car that had been parked in this hangar over 20 some years ago.
I spoke with the owner of the airpark and this was his car. He drove it into the hangar shut the door and never touched it, until I came along.
He said he filled the tank with fuel, changed the oil and parked it. After 20 some years the tires had sunk into the gravel so the car was sitting on the frame. it had so much dust on it you could not see what color it was.
I put the car on craigs list for 700 bucks. I showed pics of it and had someone call me and asked about this car.
I go back out to the hangar with an air tank and air up the tires. they hold air and not one crack in them. we then pull the car out with a tractor. We hose it off and find not one spot of rust anywhere.
The gent comes and picks it up. I just heard back from this man. He said he put a new battery in it and a 5 dollar starter relay and fired it right up. He says it runs great even with 20 something year old gas. He is so so happy.
I am happy for him
