I'm sure no one's going to hate me for this :P

Today we took out my dad's 1974 Firebird that's been sitting in the garage for like 3 years without running. Got a new battery, a little squirt of starter fluid and she fired right up, no issues.

Nah, it's basically completely stock. We just like the look of wide tires in the back lol

Thank guys! My dad is the third owner, he picked it up in 1980. I believe it has 80k miles-ish. It had to sit because of lack of time or funds to do anything with it. This summer though, its going to be a spoiled bird haha. Thankfully theres not much work to do to it, the only major thing is a tranny leak which isn't even that serious. Slight bodywork here and there, and she'll be ready to go. If he doesn't drive it a lot this summer, I'll make sure I do
