WOW! 12 years of quiet storage will surely take some preparation, to make it run again! but, if you ran it hard and put it away wet, you might have a lot of prep work before it runs. If the engine turns over, by the crank, or starter, then some oil in the cylinders and fresh gas, and it might surprise you. I hope thats all it takes. Reason i say that, one time i bought an old 1929 Model A Ford, that had sat in an old barn for 20 some years, after the owner hung himself one morning, before going to work! His wife went out , wondering why he hadn't left yet, and found him dangling from the barn rafters! So, she reached in, shut the car off, and there it sat for many years. The kids and chickens, and the cats had made their homes in it. So, i bought it, poured in 2 gallons of gasoline, topped off the radiator, jumped it with a fresh battery, and it started up and ran good! I paid her for it and drove it home. And drove it 40 miles a day for work and play, and sold it to a man who drove it to Louisville, Ky! And, thats why i say you might get lucky!
