Default Car comming out of storage soon

I will be returning to the states in a couple of months. My SS has been in storage for almost a year, it has seen very minimal use (started every couple of weeks) what should I have done to it to bring it out of retirement. Obvously I will have the oil changed but what else would you guys recommend? Tranny service, rearend, induction service...

The gas will be of considerable concern. I would entertain the thought of siphoning the tank before you fill up.

What about adding some octane booster, injector cleaner or Sea Foam?

The gas tends to go "bad" after a while and sometimes water or moisture collects in the tank. That's the reason you want to get whatever is in there out.

Cleaner and octane booster are fine to add afterwards.
