Yeah, if you like to gamble. just don't hammer the brakes too hard on that long downhill leading to the railroad crossing. Things like calipers/wheel and master cylinders tend to spew brake fluid after a couple years sitting. My Merkur sat for 5 years and only had a few problems- rusted gas tank, frozen fuel pump, frozen injectors, bad master cylinder, leaky wheel cylinders, etc.... It did have 52k miles on it, don't think that was a factor.
