Answer
Buying cars like that is always a crap-shoot. The problem is not the security system since the factory system disables the starter. If it's cranking, it should be starting.
First thing to do is spray some starting fluid or carb cleaner (pretty much any flammable aerosol) into the intake while cranking the engine. If it starts on the fluid, your fuel delivery system needs diagnosing. If it doesn't start on the fluid, check the ignition system.
