Sat for 10 years without moving… Could I bring it back to life? (Plus, I cleaned some flooded cars!)

Abandoned for decades… but not broken!
I stumbled upon this old car by chance while making my way down an overgrown, forgotten road. It stood there like a relic of the past-covered in moss, dirt, and rust, with flat tires sinking into the ground. Judging by its condition, it hadn’t moved in at least 10 years.
I was immediately intrigued. What happened to this car? Why was it abandoned? And most importantly-could I bring it back to life?
Lifting the hood, I found an engine buried under layers of dust and cobwebs. The battery was completely dead, the fuel had likely evaporated long ago, but overall, the engine looked better than I expected. I replaced the battery, checked the oil, poured in fresh gasoline, and turned the key.
The first attempt failed-the starter cranked, but the engine wouldn’t fire. After working on the carburetor and spark plugs for a bit, I tried again. A few seconds of silence… then a sudden jolt… and out of nowhere, the engine roared to life! Thick smoke poured from the exhaust, but it was running!
I couldn’t believe it-after all these years, this car was alive again! Now, it just needed a deep clean and some repairs, and maybe, just maybe, it could hit the road once more.
What do you think-was this car worth saving?
