Hi Paul,
Thank you for your prompt answer. Was the motor the reason for storing it away? If I run into a motor that hasn't run for a time I try turning it by hand at one of the front v-belt pulleys after adding some oil or wd40 into the spark plug holes. If it will turn around three consecutive turns then it is possibly ok and can be attempted to try to run it. What else can you tell me about the car. I'm quite intereesteed in it because my brother had one in Germany some years ago. The last time I was in Santa Paula was when Ivisited Lancair while they were still there. That must have been when you decided to store the Cosmo. I'd really like to know weather I could possibly drive it up or weather I have to think of a way to transport it up here. Thank you very much,

Sincerely

It was running fine. a little smoke on startup. It needed a new alternator.
 My father in law gave me a cadilac so I started driving that.
You will need a trailer or flat bed truck.
