Sounds like you got it... How's the gas did you "winterize" it? A year is a long time for gas to sit...

Tires! If you are running bias ply tires and they have not been stored properly they probably need to be replaced.

Has the car been stored inside, or outside? What weather conditions has it been exposed to?
