I purchased this 1957 Dodge Texan out of Oklahoma back in July of 2023 and its pretty much sat since then. I haven't tried to start it or even see if the motor turns. I have a video showing the ins and outs of the car here on RU-vid. Check it out below! In this video I will simply get the car started and try and get it to move under its own power. It generally doesnt take much to get a dormant old car started. In this case all we need is fuel, spark and a piece of sandpaper for the points.
See the full walkaround on the car here:
