99' no brakes!
I bought a 99' that was parked in a field for 4 years.
Everything works in it! Runs great, but doesn't stop. Brake fluid level is good, but completely black. Pitch black.
If I add more brake fluid, it just disappears.
Where should I start? No leaks underneath.. no pedal feel at all and it doesn't even attempt to stop even with pumping the brakes.
Bleed them? Get rid of the nasty fluid? I'll be at the LKQ tomorrow so I could grab a master cylinder or other parts. Any suggestions would be great@

First you say the brake fluid level is good...then you say you add some and it disappears. So...which is it? If the level is good...why are you adding fluid?
Anyhow, if you are losing fluid...and there are no visible leaks...it's most likely leaking into brake booster...from master cylinder. Change master cylinder, bench bleed master before install, then bleed entire system until fresh fluid appears at each caliper.
