1978 911sc hasn't started in 18 years...
Hey all,
I recently bought a 1978 911sc with 19,000 miles. The car hasn't been started in nearly 20 years, besides the obvious of changing all the filters and fluids, is there anything that you reccommend I do prior to the first startup?? Thanks for the help.

Oh lord. Well, I would pull all the plugs and squirt in a bit of oil into the chambers, then turn the engine it over by hand to make sure it isn't siezed up.
You will need to drain all gasoline that is in the tank from it, and put in a tank of fresh gas.
