1972 Datsun 240Z Barn Find Survivor

Thanks everyone. I had some ATF in the motor, turned it and it turned over by hand! Replaced the spark plugs and drained the oil. Just have to replace a few more things, and I'll do a test start with a fuel line directly into a small gas tank. I took it out for a real good rinsing to get the spider webs out from under the car. The paint has a great shine to it, and it hasn't even gotten a detail yet! Frame rails and floors looked great. Emptied out the gas tank, and the gas looked great! No real rust particles came out. Carl Beck suggested I take a look inside the tank still to make sure there was no gunk, so that's next on the list. For now some photos to enjoy...
