Sounds like the same thing that happened to my car, letting it sit for 30+ years like my Dad did. All the while I would sneak to the garage and turn the engine over just to keep it freed up. When it came time to resurrect, I cleaned carb & all the plugs and checked timing, then like Chap said, used Mystery Oil in cylinders and hand cranking. Then to make sure it would start, we put a bit of gas in each cylinder and turned it over with the starter. Engine loosened up and was able to start easily after turning gas on.
