I won't propose steps, but offer support for the decision to correct and detail it. If it was a barn find 65 Shelby GT350, I would send it to Mecum with dirt and hay on it. For this one, as cool as it is, I don't see the true barn find (dirt included) as enhancing value. This is a driver.

I'm not listing steps but rather answers to your problems in BOLD trying to think outside the box like you said

The inside is all vinyl and dirty.
Maybe try some Marine 31 vinyl cleaner & conditioner
The engine compartment is a wreck.
Lay cardboard on top of the Race Deck floor then go to town with a steamer.
The paint is shiny under the layer of dirt but I'm pretty sure the paint is in dire need of decontamination and correction.
Rinseless Wash, steamer around trim, design an iron remover that can be used with rinseless wash and use that, then Nanoskin clay towel to decontaminate the whole car.
All the metal work is dull, oxidized and stained.
Rupes iBrid, oh wait it's not out yet Hmm, Flex PE8 and your favorite metal polish.
The tires are ugly and the hubcaps need shining.
OHHH, I know what Mike's gonna use on this! His trusty PC with a cyclo brush and DP Tire Cleaner! Remove the hubcaps and polish them by hand in the good ol' Florida sun.
The glass is filthy inside and out.
Flex PE14-2 with a rayon glass polishing pad on the exterior and Wolfgang glass cleaner on the inside with the Glass Master tool.

1. Pressure wash it with water.
2. Do a rinse less wash.
3. Clay with a DA
4. Iron X(I use ferrex)
5. Pressure wash again.
6. Use a light finishing polish. Use stronger compound if needed.
7. IPA wipedown.
8. Put a coating of Optimum gloss coat.
Bam, that thing will look shiny for the next 2 years.
For the engine Mike, I would hit it with a degreaser and then use a steamer with a MF to catch all the runoff and residue.
For the interior I would use a heated extractor if there's a lot of carpet and for the vinyls I would use a soap/citrus based cleaner since the dirt inside would consist mostly of grease. If there's any stains I missed on the vinyl, I use a black light and it will show up

I'm just surprised as a kid on Christmas morning that that puppy isn't partially rusted out, being from Minnesota...even if it is a barn find.
The original owner musta taken pretty good care of it.
I know you said no brakes, hence no outside water. But, couldn't you just push it out to at least hose it off. I'm thinking that 'it' having lived in a barn for all those years...I'd be looking for some hidden living critter(s) or at least some 'critter damage.'
