Chances are it DIDN'T run in 1999 and that is why it was parked.
With cash in hand, offer what you think it is worth to you and can afford. If he says no, turn and walk away. Remember, he called you and a good chance he'll call back.

If he really is interested in selling it and is in good of shape as he would have you believe, he can pull it out, clean it up and get it running.
I don't know about that. My bench seat was pretty well shot on the driver's side when I bought it in 1989. It was at approx. 90K miles. The springs on the LH side are bad as well. I suspect the original owner was a big fellow. The visors, arm rests, dash pad and panels are near mint.
