We looked it over really good when we pulled it out of storage. A new battery and it started right up! Oil+filter has been changed. (Next change will convert to M-1 synthetic.) Coolant tested ok. Lotsa washing to get all the dust and grime off, but I have a lot more detailing to do.
I should get the tires rebalanced as sometimes there is a hint of a vibe. And I will probably replace the 8 year old tires in the next year or so. Since the car was stored indoors, the tires seem to be ok. But they are definitely getting to their 'replace by' date - just by age.
All things considered it is running very well. It is happy to be driven again.
