I would mainly worry that the engine wasn't 'pickled' while being stored
for so long. This is the process of completely filling every exposed
surface, including cylinders with oil to prevent rust. Also, have the
brake lines been bled? How are the rubber ends to the lines? Water in the
gas tank? Was the car stored indoors? And if so, how 'indoors' was it? A
barn, or a sealed garage? I'd worry about critters building nests. Last
thing you want is the smell of rotting mouse coming from the vents!

Generally speaking, give the car a thorough going over before taking it on
the road. Other wise, Happy Saabing!

Regards,
Jim Miller
