Ever wonder what the inside of a motor from 1974 looks like that's never been opened?

Well there it is.

Some seafoam and good detergent oil is in order for that poor car.

Surprisingly, the motor still runs GREAT. Starts up in one crank and will pull you down the road like you wouldn't believe.

Yummy!! Give me a bowl of that. LOL

That is awesome that it still runs looking like that. I would not run it though until it is all cleaned out.
