First Start! 1957 Dodge Texan. Rare MoPar! Obsolete Automotive

I purchased this 1957 Dodge Texan out of Oklahoma back in July of 2023 and its pretty much sat since then. I haven't tried to start it or even see if the motor turns. I have a video showing the ins and outs of the car here on YouTube. Check it out below! In this video I will simply get the car started and try and get it to move under its own power. It generally doesnt take much to get a dormant old car started. In this case all we need is fuel, spark and a piece of sandpaper for the points. See the full walkaround on the car here:    • 1957 Dodge Texan. First Look! Rare Forward...   -------------------------------------------------- See extra content, get early video releases and more on Patreon!   / obsoleteautomotive   Follow along on Instagram:   / obsoleteautomotive   Be sure to join the Facebook discussion group!   / 225062327329537   --------------------------------------------------- Chapers: 00:00 - Introduction 00:56 - Air, Fuel, Spark 01:17 - Underhood Inspection 01:54 - Checking the Points 06:34 - Gas Tank 08:42 - First Start? 13:15 - Auxiliary Fuel Tank 15:36 - Fixing Misc.
