Reply to "New (to me) Pantera"

The car arrived on Friday. It is in worse shape than I had hoped - but hey, it's free. Clearly, the mice have spent more time in the car than anyone else. Everything is dirty, and smelly. I had heard a story of the car rolling down an incline into the garage but wasn't sure if the damage had been fixed - it hasn't. So the big thing is that the hood and front clip are dented (beyond repair) and the right front quarter panel is squished beyond repar and will need to be replaced. The front frame might be just a bit tweaked based on the front hood not fitting anymore. The battery is dead. The belts are off and there is no antifreeze in the car (which I knew) so I tried to start it (kidding). There is a nice mouse nest in the glove box and evidence of one in the air filter housing - outside the filter thank goodness - and also in the leftmost muffler opening. I vacuumed and cleaned the interior tonight along with the glass (which is pristine). I will try to post photos soon. Oh yeah 23,000 miles - so the inside of the engine and tranny should be ok right?
