Starter her up & pulled out of the garage. Got to the end of the block and she died. Battery dead my fault charging system not hooked up. The neighbor & I pushed & the wife steered. When I got it started the clutch pedal was chattering like crazy.  ?? Plus the brakes almost to the floor. I guess I have a little work to do. Its been a long long time since I had to push a Car !!

It's funny how heavy they get as we age too. 😀

If Ruby started herself, the battery should not have been dead at the end of the block. Take a look around for a broken or dis-connected wire. Fuel level?

@35mike One end of the ground cable at the frame came apart from the terminal. Came loose still in the terminal poor connection weak or poor solder joint. Will fix today. Thanks for the reply.

If a faulty ground cable caused it to die, I would say your charging system is not working.
