My first thought is that one of the brakes is seized up. With it sitting 7 years if the emegency brake was on the brake shoes and or the brake cable may be frozen or rusted. Make sure the wheels are free to turn. If I remember that the rear filler hole is on the drivers side. Sometimes it is hard to find You will have to clean the old oil and dirt of the rear. After you have the car moving check all the rubber hoses and the intake filter. Mice usually like to find a out of the way place to build a nest and they will nibble into just about anything.
