280SE 4.5 Nice car!!!

It is very important to confirm that the engine turns freely i.e., not stuck/seized from sitting. If it is free, then change the oil, fresh gasoline, battery etc. should be good.

If it does not turn freely, stop. Do not try to free it with the starter, pull the plugs and put some light oil in the cylinders and wait for it to free.

Good luck and keep us posted!!!
