Ok, so, after 2 years my freind is trying to move his car, the car hasn't been turned on or moved in 2 years...its sad i know but, I wanted to know how should he start it up again? I would say myself drop the tank and suck the gas out, but that takes way to much effort, but I was wondering is there any way to even start it back up at all? Thanks for your feed back.

I personally would shoot a small amount of oil down the spark plug holes, crank it over to build some oil pressure, change the oil, and dump a couple cans of heet/fuel stabilizer in the tank.
when I bought my 65 I did this and it fired right up. The gas in it's tank was no joke 10 years old.
