If the engine hasn't been turned over for a while it should need an oil and coolant dump as those will probably be quite old. I've never heard of an engine needing rebuilding from lack of use though. To be fair this is a 4-cylinder opposed engine and i'm only really familiar with 4-cylinder inlines and transverses, so I can't speak for their operation.
It looks absolutely pristine, the paintwork and interior trims are in perfect condition and just looks fantastic. Not a hint of rust and to top it all off, it has silver alloys rather than black steel rims.
Pulling the EFI will result in a loss of power around the range of 10-15kW, but i'm guessing you're not too concerned about that. Plus it's an upside for reliability to do away with it, with the price of engine management systems these days. ($500 is a decent factory part figure, but it's around $1200 for an aftermarket) I've had to replace my onboard computers twice now and i'll tell ya, it's not cheap. Offered a nice performance boost though.
Very nice, give that engine a good cleanup and it should be a great little bug. Welcome to the world of motoring and automotive.
