1987 Turbo car wrecked and sitting

need to know if my engine would still be ok, I have a 1987 red turbo car that has been sitting for 5 years, it ran great before it was wrecked, I filled the cycliners full of tranny fluid after the wreck and put the spark plugs back in. Does anyone know if the engine would be ok. I am about to post it for sale on the site. i live in north alabama, and need to know if car is worth a $1,000 or more.

If the ATF has sat in that engine for so long, the oil o-rings will likely be mush. Over the long term, some brands of ATF will kill those seals.
