get that oil out of there immediately.
1 year is usually considered a very long time, let alone 4.
I wouldn't drive the car, nor start it.

Add a new battery to that as well. Check the amount of air in your spare also. I bet it is down to about 20 lbs by now. If you can drain the fuel without running it through the engine, I would do that as well. I am not sure if you can siphone fuel out of our tanks or not. I hope you got the radio code if you are going to stay with the OEM head unit. Check the spark plugs and make sure they are tightened to 18 ft lbs. I bet she didn't take it in for the TSB. Lubricate the hinges on the soft top.

Good find by the way.
