What was the longest timeframe you've ever had your f-body sit (without starting it, turning it over or moving it) and what problems did you experience when you tried to start/move it after that timeframe?

My car sat from about October/November last year to Friday this past weekend. I keep it on a battery charger and all was well when I started it. I guess priming the oil pump wouldn't have been a bad idea. I changed the oil the week before so that was taken care of already.
The current motor in that car sat on a stand for about a year. The previous car was totaled, 9 months to find this one, then another few months to find time to do the swap. That time I primed the pump. |
