Default 1983 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe simple question

Hi

I was given this car by my aunt who never drove it and has been sitting in her garage for 12 years since her husband died so she has no idea of its working.....now for my embarassing question....how the heck do you read the gas gauge? It reads 8 so what does that mean?

it probobly means 8 gallons of gas in it. if it has been sitting for 12 years, please put fuel supplement in before starting, or running. not to mention checking/ changing oil, coolant, and a host of other things.... how many miles on the car, and what shape is she in?
