Default driving after a decade?

Evenin fellow pushrodders,


So In my search for a replacement for my ailing DD, a friend pointed out an 88 GT to me. Its been in storage for the past 10 years (dry, heated, outside, not sure yet). I have yet to get a call back from the seller, but am still looking up the parts it will most likely need. The description is:

1988 ford gt mustang, 5.0, automatic, this car is a one owner car, special ordered brand new, no power windows, no power locks, new weld racing wheels and tires, this car has been in storage for the last 10 years and its time to depart from it. Open to cool trades or cash. $3500.
new tires is obviously covered, I know the filters, wires, dizzy cap, plugs, oil/coolant, and most likely a tranny service (also have an AOD from my friends 87 he will sell for cheap) but for those of you have taked out cars from years, what have you needed? Car looks way to clean to pass by without a closer look. Im just a bit nervous bringing it out of storage right into driving a good chunk.

Fuel system flush, brake fluid flush, and I would change differential fluid for good measure.
