1960 Pontiac Ventura Hardtop Revival! Will it run after 24 years??

We bought this 1960 Pontiac Venture (trim level between Catalina and Bonneville) two door hardtop in central Nebraska. It had been parked for 24 years. In the glovebox, I found receipts for the car from Utah, California, Wyoming, Colorado, and West Virginia. When we picked up the car, it had West Virginia 2001 plates on it. It's amazing to think about this old car spanning so much of the country in its time on the road. The car's drivetrain is the base 2 barrel 389 backed by an automatic transmission. It appears it was originally equipped with power brakes, power steering, Kelsey Hayes 8 lug wheels, and the Wonder Bar radio. Although the car is covered in surface rust and moss, the body is very straight (as in few dents) and the frame is solid. Wherever the car was stored at in West Virginia, the conditions caused it to rot from the top down, giving the car a heavily distressed look. In this video, I try to make the car run, drive, and stop; because everyone knows that cars are easier to store if they move under their own power. Working on this beautiful old Pontiac was extremely rewarding. Not only do you not see very many 1960 cars on the road, but you see very few 1960 Pontiacs out and about. Thanks for watching!
