'84 - Unstable Idle/Dies under Load (Video Inside)

I've got a few quick questions regarding an '84 Targa I'm looking at buying. I've tried searching, but haven't found anything with similar issues. A few points:

- Car hasn't run in a few months. Ran good 4-5 months ago.
- Hasn't been driven regularly in 4-5 years.
- RPMs change when taking off oil filler cap (I understand that's good).
- Fires right up.
- Wants do die when trying to take off in gear, no matter how much gas you give.
- Pops slightly out of the exhaust.
- Battery was dead and had to be jump started.
- Tach wasn't working.

Thanks!
