I cleaned all the terminals and removed the main ground and gave it a thorough cleaning.
Installed the fully charged battery (trickle charged it during the night) and she fired right up.
As a preventative maintenance, I will clean the engine/body ground and any other obvious ground straps that I come across.
This might be a good bi-annual preventative maintenance for all those that park on the street.

Good to know it was a corroded body connection of the battery ground.
Simple and easy to fix..
