running vs. non-running...

another thread got me thinking about the ratio of running vs non-running f-bodies here...

check all that apply.. for those like me with multiple non-running fbodies, sorry.. can only vote on each answer once.

If I jump start it then it will run.

Mine runs and drives - even have a poor night time video of it. I just haven't spent the money for the paperwork to get it on the road.

Gotta fix an exhaust leak to make it legal.

ha! you must be joking.. X 2

But I did get all of the undercoating off the bottom of my 77 gas tank, and removed the tank. Good news? The car has a brand new trunk pan. Bad news? The car has the wrong sending unit. But progress was made, gasoline was spilled.
