I'm a long-time Georgia resident. Cars can get that moldy in 6 months when stored in the wrong manner.

If it had drum brakes, I could almost guarantee at least one of them would be frozen.

There’s an 04 Ford GT (Blue with white stripe) in Macon, Georgia with less than 2k miles on it in premium condition sitting in the owner’s airplane hangar.

[@quintman15]

Only time will tell how healthy this engine is. Modular 4v engines can be very sensitive to oil being in all the right places on startup. Legit Street Cars and Stay Tuned each had fresh modular builds that they accidentally torched because they didn’t prime the oiling systems before first startup. Likely a car sitting 10+ years may not be as bad as a fresh engine with assembly lube only, but it should still give pause. Ford even included a feature where you can floor the throttle as you try to start it, and the ECU will cut fuel so that oil can circulate through the engine. Hopefully they checked everything and primed it before first startup

[@scottclark7559]

I've resurrected dozens of cars that have sat for years or decades. I wouldn't personally have started a car that valuable on fluids that old, but there you go 😂. Things that sit that long usually have frozen brake calipers/wheel cylinders, stuck piston rings, stuck lifters, and all sorts of problems in the fuel system...rusted fuel tank/lines, varnish in everything. Gas turns to into all kinds of nastyness as time goes on. 15 year old gas is barely even combustible lol.
