I haven't heard of that one, it may happen though. I have a 1974 Dodge
Monaco, ex cop car. bought it after it sat almost 35 years. Put a new
battery in it, fresh fuel and a little maintenance, fired right up and
drove it out of the hole in the ground it was apparently burying itself in.
Changed tires and some other rubber parts, still runs fine.
The Transmission, a 727 Torqueflight, came to life as if someone had just
parked it 5 minutes earlier. :D
