Watch out for carbon monoxide when doing this indoors. The car has no cat
My first car was a 66 Ford Fairlane 500 w/289/3 on the tree. I got it when I was 12 yrs old. My Old Man gave it to me because I had been wrenching on it with a mechanic neighbor since I was almost 10 yrs old. And He bought another car, 72 Mavrick 6 cylinder. 3 on the tree. Loved driving them both, miss driving them…✌

If you hadn't lollygagged and spent the time on it to restore it, you wouldn't be in this predicament now.
Why fix up a VW truck, when you have an icon sitting in your garage, a 67 Mustang fastback. Worth at least 3 times as much new and more now.
You're going to say that you watch shows that have registered mechanics rev up rebuilt engines and put them on the dynamometer to see if they have more HP but they lube the engine first with sticky rebuild oil first, they don't run them dry.
He started it, checked the radiator, needs a flush and a new radiator, but never checked the oil, and now he's revving it.
I see people start their cars and rev it up, only it destroys the engine running bare without oil, that's why you put oil in it, to cushion the parts and not have them rub against bare metal.
It doesn't make any sense to rev a engine that has been sitting for years sometimes decades, even if it has been only sitting for a day, it bad for the engine to rev it up, no lube has circulated, and even then without it all attached, meaning the trans and rear end, it's harmful.
Starting fluid would be good, I use to have to use it in the winters to get the car started and it only sat overnight. A good battery would help too and the choke should be closed, to start an engine you need the fuel rich not lean.
Ah there is nothing you can't fix with duct tape.
Put a battery in it
