1971 Chrysler New Yorker First Start, Drive, Wash, Trip! Off the road for 30 years will it make it??

I purchased this 1971 Chrysler New Yorker from a local auto repair shop in Williams, California. I actually had seen the car for sale but the person wouldn't reply to my messages. Sometime later it was spotted at the repair shop. It hasn't been driven since the 1990s. The shop did various work to the car for a customer who then refused to pay. They ended up doing a lien sale on the car and that is how I came to own it.

This video shows the firsts of everything. First start, drive, wash, fuel up, trip, etc. I get the car driving as I needed to assess the condition. I had entertained the thought of driving it back home 3000 miles at a later date. Since this car wasn't in the system, I had to get the car inspected by the DMV. Which meant I needed to drive it there or haul it there. See how it all unfolds!
