OK, less than a year is not a long time. Revived from a barn after a decade...long time.

With that little down time there are not that many concerns. Lots of the folks here in the rust belt store their summer cars almost as long as the car has been stored...every year.

At this point, treat it like any used car. If it does not start, it is worth $200 over scrap value. It is starts but is not driveable...maybe $300 over scrap value. For every other condition...report back.

1991 740's are not collectible or valuable but they are darned good cars I would not blink at a $1K for a running, driving car with all its pieces even if it was ugly inside or out.
