I'm about to pick up a 1984 AM General M35A2C from the Government. It has done 16k miles (700 hrs) and the location is about 100 miles from me.
My question relates to the chances I have of simply starting this (with some tweaks here and there) and driving it home without the need of being trailored ?
I've read several threads about what you might need to do and items to replace (eg: fuel filters, air filters etc) and I'm going equiped with various tools, lubricants etc. But I wanted to know if I'm way off from reality thinking this is possible ?
I'm not sure whether the military start these vehicles on a regular basis to keep them ready if they need them, or they simply leave them untouched for years so things are seized etc.
Any advice, knowledge, ideas ? much appreciated.
Thank you
