Dear fellows,
Friend of mine inherited a 1975 Anniversary Edition silver 911. It has been stored in his garage for last four years or so without seeing daylight. I can only imagine that tires got flat spots, gas in tank must look like sauerkraut and oil to match it in its reservoir. He claims that there is a leak of some sort (I didn’t get to see the car yet) on the driver side of the car, possibly power steering, judging by his description and color. What would you recommend to do before bringing this silver beauty back to life. I imagine oil change would be in order followed by fuel tank flush, brakes flush. All constructive suggestions are welcome. Any similar past experience anyone? Many thanks in advance, Luxter |

Luxter,
There are many threads on this topic. A search will turn them up. Try search terms like: Starting stored car. Look for posts by Grady Clay (one of our Gurus). This thread may be helpful to you: Winter storage checklist? Quote:

No power steering on that car, but I strongly suspect the leak comes for a failed brake master cylinder. Not uncommon for that age, and not difficult to resolve.
