Years ago when I was in dealerships, I heard stories of Torqueflites in cop cars being burnt up by sitting for long periods on hot days, idling in park while watching traffic or taking a nap
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

a 727 doesn't circulate fluid in park.so if it had some fluid in it to start with I don't see a problem. Nevermind.

Park - damage Neutral - no damage
fluid will flow in neutral but not park, unless the transgo kit mentioned above is used He did say NO FLUID in it... the fiber stuff in it will be history(the fiber type thrust parts).. the bands and clutches shouldnt be a issue... my self... I'd chance it.. fill it up and see what ya got... as said.. the cop cars did/do have issues sitting for long periods in park... the cop cars also have a lock out so they cant be pulled down into low/1st gear.. the cops had issues of FORGETTING to shift out of low

The 727 does circulate fluid in park, but not nearly as much as it does in neutral. I was being rude. It really depends on how much fluid was in it. It could still be low on the dipstick and get enough lubrication to not cause damage. NEVER run an engine with a DRY torqueflite behind it! ...even in Park.

Almost dry actually or just low on the dipstick? There can be no fluid showing on the dipstick but still enough fluid to prevent major damage.
