If that trailer is ruined by the smell I just might take it off your hands. I have been looking at alum trailers and that looks like a good one.

Congratulations on a great find. There is a guy about a mile from me that has 3 Vettes sitting around his house, a 58, a 63 split window and a 71. Also has 2 40 Ford coupes. I was told the 58 and 63 have been sitting for 20 or more years. About 1 year ago he covered them with tarps, but they are in rough shape. I talked to the owner a few months ago about them. He will never sell the cars. It's a shame.

I put a battery in the red 63 and cranked it till I had oil pressure, stepped on the gas a couple times and it fired right up. Then it died and didn't want to start until I figured out that it was now out of gas. Added a couple gallons and dumped a bit in the carb and it runs fine. Step on the brakes and nothing. Check the master cylinder and it is empty. Add brake fluid and.........still no brakes. Put the auto trans in gear and it goes nowhere. Check the tranny fluid and nothing. Add two quarts and we have liftoff. Drove around the barn using the parking brake to stop. Power windows work, headlight doors and lights work. Power steering sounds like it needs fluid. Alternator, gas guage and tach works. Took it out and blew the walnuts from the squirrels out of it and washed it.
