1972 Lincoln Continental Sedan revival, Will it run after years of sitting (not a barn find though)

Will she start? This is my 1972 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL SEDAN, dark metallic brown, with brown vinyl top and tobacco interior. It’s a 1-OF-1 CAR, only one made just like her. Lorelei (the car) is also a very well documented car, which matters if you have a large collection of cars or just one classic, we do love going back in time, looking through booklets, manuals, receipts and window stickers.
I will show you all the documentation that a car can have, and then some. All these papers add significant value to a car (even more if it turns out somebody famous was the first owner or something).
I have maintained this car carefully over the years, so the revival may not be difficult, but still dramatic. Will she start on the first try after sitting for years?
