For Those Who Have Purchased a "Non-Running" Mopar/Other

Not a real purchase, but my first car was a hand-me-down '81 Mercury Zephyr with a straight six (junk with constant vacuum leaks, but that's a different subject). After I moved out of state and drove it for years my parents took it back and let it sit, then they couldn't start it. My dad and brother (who had about 90 years experience working on cars between them) went all over the thing and couldn't get it to start or run at all. But sometimes it's the simple things - I threw a $30 WalMart battery in it and it started right up. Then I drove it home about 800 miles.
