Unfortunately those motors usually only seize when they have a cracked block. With periodic use they will run for years with a cracked block, but if left to sit they seize.

As for restoration, I wouldn't spend the money. If the car is pleasant in the visual sense restoring it makes no sense. A better investment would be upgrading your garage with insulation, a dehumidifier, and temperature control to maintain around 45 degrees in winter.
