I bought an '84 with 92,000 that had been sitting for some time, it was fine at first but as I drove it, it start leaking more and more. I ended up replacing most of the gaskets and front/rear main seals. The transmission developed a really bad leak that require pulling it and replacing nearly all of the seals and gaskets. Mine was stored outside in Michigan from what I can tell, but I don't know for how long. I also bought an Audi V8 that sat outside for three years and it also required a lot of tinkering to get working right. This sounds like it could be turned into a nice car, but be prepared to do a bit of work on it. The real key is buying it right--$2K sounds high unless the guy gets it running.
