Default Long Storage

HI, I had a 300D years ago and have been thinking I would like another. There is one nearby, a 85 300D. It has a very nice body and paint, clean interior and an all around good looking car. Here is the catch, it has been inside stored for 10 years! Motor is free, odometer shows approx 160000 miles but it hasn't been started. It looks like if you put a battery in it it would start right up, but who knows. What are my chances that it would be OK, other than changing belts etc, what would I expect? Would the fuel be bad? I read that diesel does not go bad but I don 't know. Thanks for any suggestions. Dave
