    I hope the restoration goes well, I have been looking at these and even the low mileage ones are not very expensiveย 

    Thanks! I guess it depends on what you consider expensive. The prices for these things seems to be all of the place, but they're such great cars.

      We finally got her to start on her own! Embarrassingly, it only needed some more fuel. Apparently, the gallon and a half we initially added wasn't enough to make its way into the pump, the tank must've been completely dry.

      It had a grumpy start after hibernating for so long, but we couldn't believe how well we ended up getting it running! Unfortunately, the transmission left us stuck in the garage, but we're going to add some fluid and see if it'll make it down the road.

                That LS fire-up on the engine stand is priceless. Nicely done!
