Default Re: Starting a car in hibernation for yrs

The 69 Camaro that had been sitting for 18 years before being started had the heater core go bad with-in 2 days of driving it. If you are worried about it... by pass the core by just running the heater hose from the outlet on the engine back to the inlet in the engine. The pressure on the system is what is gonna do it in.
