These Kids Start A Datsun 260Z For The First Time After Sitting For 16 Years!


These Kids Start A Datsun 260Z For The First Time After Sitting For 16 Years!

Making old cars run, particularly cars that have been sitting for years or decades, is often looked at like an impossible task. But the truth is it really depends on why the car or truck was parked in the first place, and how it has been stored. Here on the west coast, something can sit for decades and usually only have problems with things like fuel lines and such that rot out from the dry weather. In the north east, issues with rust from sitting can often mean an engine is seized up and won’t turn over. But as long as it will spin, and there isn’t anything wrong with the mechanicals inside the engine, getting an old engine to run once it turns over is usually a matter of when, not if. And these kids here know that well. They aren’t afraid of anything! We’ve watched their Junkyard Digs videos before and they never fail to entertain when getting something running, but this one is special. This car is incredibly nice!

We’ll let the video tell the story, but this one is a holy grail. They found a car that had been stored in pretty nice conditions and that was nice when it got parked and here is the story of getting it running again.
