Really depends on how it was stored and some luck. If gas was left in the tank/lines/rails, then it will most definitely have varnished and cause some issues. Sta-bil or draining the gas out prevents that as an issue. Really that should be it. Also depends on the environmental conditions (temperature fluctuations, moisture levels etc) moisture and fluctuation can wreak havoc on sensors. It should run but might not be in top tune. Seals and gaskets could have possibly dried up so there may be some leakage or oil burning that wasn't there before. Good news is it sounds like the front end needs redone on the car and a rebuild on the motor is easy, especially if your front end is off. Don't sell, put her back together. I would love to have the Mustang I had 15 years ago, it was a cool '67 coupe and the guy won't sell it back. It just sits in the garage under a cover. Anyway, I would yank out the gas tank and drain it, put some new gas in, charge the battery, change the oil (maybe even use a drill to spin the oil pump and get some oil moved around inside and make sure it's not frozen). Cycle the fuel pump without turning over the motor a few times, check for fuel pressure at the schrader valve and give it a crank......
