I have to take some issue with Mark. Last year I revived my 72 pre-L after sitting for 19 years in my garage .. never started, never moved. With relatively little work I got it running and moving. I did spend a lot in rebuilding suspension completely and a few other things but it wasn't in any way a disaster. If you have any mechanic skills I'd give it a try before giving a blank check to a shop. My 2 cents.

...I would have Test Fired the Engine, also, with a Fresh New Battery. But Only after Flushing and Adding Fresh Coolant, and a Complete Oil and Filter Change. And change any Rubber Fuel Lines, and Flush and add Fresh 'High Test' Fuel. As I Assume You DID! AND I would have had My Fire Extinguisher In My hands, watching for Carb Gasket Leaks!
And NOT Left the Garage before a Brake and Clutch Flush, Fill and Bleed. And Rubber Brake Hoses?? Got Cracks?
