I wish you luck, but with that many miles it will be a project. I know since I bought one with over 200k miles that had been stored for over a year last summer. I knew the engine was going to come out but had excellent interior and paint so fit what I was looking for. That said, right now there are some very nice cars with a lot of aftermarket goodies out there in the $5-7k range.
I did get mine running for about a month to assess what I had before breaking it down. My buddy that helps me was a dealer tech for over 20+ years so have good help. First thing we did was pull the plugs and squirt some Marvel Mystery Oil in the cylinders. I let that sit for about a week. Then I charged up a battery, pulled the coil wire and plugs and spun it over to lube up. I did that for about 30 seconds a day for another week. Then we put some new plugs in and had a go at it. Tank was almost empty but not quite so added 5 gal new and a can of Berrymans. A lot of lifter noise and smoke at first but ran and didn’t mess anything up that wasn’t messed up already. Oh yea, and keep a fire extinguisher handy when you get ready. She’s been sleeping a lot time so wake her up slow and easy.
