1972 opel kadett

my dad bought this car some 12 years ago, in pretty rough shape, he said out of joke it was for me and my brother to learn how to drive, well my brother allready had a licence, and so i learned how to drive in this here beauty, he had it painted some 10 years ago and was never realy driven much, last night and after 5 years of sitting in the same spot, some stolen power and lended gas and it fired at the firts turn of the starter, i guess they just don´t make them like they used to
