May be purchasing a 1971 302 Convertible

I'm going to look at a 1971 302 Convertible this afternoon. This car has been sitting in a garage for ~15 years, not moved or started. It has only had two owners and I believe it was wrecked at some point, but completely repaired. I'm pretty close to the family and I didn't even know this was in the garage until a few days ago! Pretty sure I can check the body and engine out well enough to decide if I want to buy, but the roof is another story. I don't have any experience with the convertible top. Can/Should I hook up jumper cables and try to operate it? Is there anything in particular I need to be looking for or careful of? I'll be posting a What's it worth thread (or just continuing here) later this evening. I want to make sure that both parties get a fair deal. I plan on posting plenty of pics. Thanks in advance for any advice, I hope I can rejoin the 7173 club soon!
