WILL IT START? RARE AUTOCAR Sitting over 10 YEARS! QUICK TAKE!

How about you? I'm Hank. Welcome to Hamiltonville Farm Classics. We're going to do a really quick take of some of the great vehicles that we've started, some of the old equipment that we've worked on. Four, six, eight minute videos, something like that. I hope you enjoy them. If you want to see the long version or you want to see how we've done it from start to finish, make sure you subscribe to Hamiltonville Farm and that will have the full length video on it there. Check out this classic from Hamiltonville Farm Classics. Thanks for coming along. Ta-da! This old auto car. Ain't this cool, man? Check this thing out. Not only is it a really cool color, it's an auto car, right? So in this video, this is an old white GMC auto car. And from what we can tell, it's been sitting here probably 10 years. So this is what the dash looks like here. You good on your side? All right. Rat nest in there. Big old rat nest in there. Yeah, buddy. What's some numbers say on top of that cat? All right. Just kind of doing a visual inspection over here. We looked at that 3406B. You got any experience with those? Nope. What? Well, why'd I bring you four? That's a good looking color. I like this. I like this green. Get this water to get thick. Tom, it's full of diesel. Full? Yeah. Look at that. Oh, yeah. And look how clean it is. He said 10 years. Oil's good. Water's good. Air cleaner's good. Let's try it. Diesel's good. Let's put a battery on it, Tom. Yeah. Use that adjustable wrench. That's what I'm talking about. Y'all had to break down and get a wrench. Tommy, what do you think? Is this going to be the easiest one we've ever done? I'll do it. Turn this key on. All right. We got dash lights. You ready? Fire it up. All right. Ready? It almost turned it over. That one ain't going to do it, is it? I don't think so. At least it ain't froze up. Yeah, that's like it wants to. We're probably going to put that other battery on it. Yeah, I believe you're right. All right. Here's another hot wire that goes to the starter. So we're going to put that on another battery. We're going to put that on- It's going to lose more. Oh, yeah? It might be ruining it more than doing it. Yeah, that's true too. Yeah, we'll take that off and add it to this other battery. Tommy, we need more of those because I don't have them on there. I don't think I've got some in my toolbox. Let me go look. Or if not, I'll grab some vice grips. All right, Tommy. You can't turn that one? We might be able to use this to start the truck wheel. What do you think? No, I had it turning. Yeah, yeah. There you go. I turned it several rounds, but it's getting harder and harder. Yeah, yeah. I told Tommy, I was like, I'm pretty sure I've got some more in my toolbox. So we found some and I've got a steel wire brush. How about that? I'm going to get it all cleaned up. Let's try to prime this thing up a little bit. Maybe. I'm not even going to use ether in it. Do you believe that? Let's try it one more again. Okay. You ready? You ready, Tommy? I'm ready. All right, here we go. It's smoking right here. Smoking? Yeah, right there. Are you sure they're tight this time? I ain't sure. Put another battery to it to help it, I guess. Here we go. Jumper cables. All right, one more again. It's going to work this time. Ready? All right, here we go. Wired it. Nothing. Nothing. My batteries can't be that dead. Am I not doing something right in this side? Headlights are off, off, off, off. Everything's off. Huh? What do you think, Tommy? Well, Tommy, what do you think? All right, look, we're just going to have to have some more juice. I believe you're right. So what we think is that the starter's okay. We think that the engine's not froze up, so that's a good thing because it was turning over and stuff. It just wasn't getting enough power and all I've got is these two batteries with me. So what we're going to do is we're going to go back to the house. We're going to take these batteries, charge them up, and then come back out here and try it again because I think that I'm pretty sure it's going to start. All right, you ready, Tommy? All right, here we go. Ready? All right. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. That's so awesome. I love it. Oh, man. I love it. I love it. Oh, man. This stuff is so awesome, ain't it? Well, there she goes, guys. We appreciate you guys watching. Take care. God bless you guys. We'll catch you on the next one.
