1974 Dodge Challenger first start after sitting in the woods many years

Kurt found a Challenger local so we had to go pick it up. Originally a 318 auto, B5 blue with white vinyl top. It has a 340 air cleaner and spread bore Holley along with 4 exhaust tips so who knows what's going on. It's only been at the shop for a day. More to come I'm sure but here's the big recovery and initial start. Thanks for watching. #challenger #dodge #hotrod #mopar

You guys are brave. I would of pulled the pickup side of the fuel pump and ran another rubber line to a gallon container of fresh gas. The engine has good oil pressure. And not a lot of smoke. Might be alright. The car looks very intact. Should be a nice restoration. Your car and your taste for sure. But I would lose the bumper guards and go for a cleaner look. Good luck with this project and thank you for letting us look over your shoulder.

Hey thanks for the great comment and for watching! We'll have more to come of some other junk soon. I like them all but this car is pretty cool.

" I gotta assume there's oil in it. Did you check?". 😂
