If it was running when it was parked it will run again!
Many years ago I got a 56 Hillman Californian for free. It had been sitting untouched for 5 years. I got it running again. And ran the same half tank of gas it was parked with too.
Pull the plugs, squirt some oil in there, try to turn it over. May have to get a socket and flex bar on the end of the crank, but do try.
I bought a 58 Impala once that was dragged out of a field near Seattle where it had sat untouched rusting for 26 years. I got it running too, and actually drove it.
If I can, so can you.:)
Go for it man, what have you got to lose?
