[JDYDesigns]

That's a warm engine running. WARM start.

[mschiffel1]

how much preparation did you give it before it started and ran ???...don't even say that it ran on 1974 gasoline !!!

[silverado271]

dudes gonna be pissed when i steal that..

[davshaw5]

Why would you leave a car sitting since 1974?

[michaelwitham]

and brand new belts?

[customcraze65]

great! the old motor runs! now pull that 265 power pack outta there and load it up with a LS2 6-Speed!

[PetarVN]

@customcraze65 With those brakes on it i doubt it put 13" Brembo discs with race-strength calipers on as well

[coffeefish]

I have some money saved up. Is it sort of for sale?

[cad70dy]

Great one! Keep it running!

[StickPeopleAndPuff]

"been sitting in Phonenix, Arizona for-" thats why it still runs, its a desert car

[ws6transam84]

Is that Freiberger's voice behind that camera? ... and it's amazing that there's still '56 Chevys still laying around in people's back yards, much less in runnable condition. Quite astounding, actually! That fellow, Rick, must've had a lot of projects to keep him busy that long such that he never got around to running a V8-equipped '56 for thirty-two years. Well, Kudos to him in finally getting around to it!

I appreciate that Finn is enjoying a Corona at what appears to be 10:30 AM!

Absolute brilliant i love it when a car runs this well after being parked up so long I look forward to the return to the road.
