Maybe. Try it and see, the fuel system may or may not be gummed up. Use a good fuel system cleaner and put fresh gas in it.

Inspect those tires for dry rot and check all the fluids. Make sure you have brakes too! You might hear a slight grinding the first few times you apply the brakes. If it goes away after that, consider it normal. The brake rotors may have a bit of rust on them from sitting. Let the vehicle run for about a half hour before taking to the road with it. Hope that helps! Jim
