As the title states, I just inherited a car that hasn't been driven since 1993.
It was my fathers car. It's a 1986 Camaro Z28. It's rather unique and that it was a prototype for the convertible models of Camaros which followed in 1987. This car means alot to me. I only drove it a few times when I lived at home in the late 80's. Dad last drove it in 1993 when he parked it for the last time.
I intend to get it back to driving condition. But I'm trying to anticipate what to expect. This is what I know.
The oil was last changed in 1990. The car had about 9,000 miles on it. I know this because it was the last time I drove it and was doing Dad a favor right before I moved out and started my adult life.
Car was last driven in 1993. Currently has 11,500 miles on it. It has 3/4 tank of fuel. It's a 305 V8. Fuel wasn't stabilized and it was Valvoline regular Dino oil that was available in 1990. I has been kept in a garage all these years.
I'm expecting to have to replaced all the rubber parts, fuel lines, fuel tank, fuel pump, carburetor, all belts.
Any advice on what else to expect? What's that fuel and oil going to look like?
Thanks! (btw my old ID on here is dman4384. Not sure why I can't access it anymore)
