If i were you, i would honestly expect to throw a few hundred at that car. Tires, bushings, bearings, greases, oils...it all adds up. Expect to do a full service tune up. Make sure to grease all the Zerk fittings under the chassis, and get the old grease outta there. Expect the boots on your tierod ends and balljoints to possibly have dried out and broken. In wich case, the parts should be replaced. Expect new tires...i posted that in my first post, but old rubber + flatspotting = bad news. Expect to do a Coolant flush, and your going to need to clean the hell outta your old radiator probably. Expect to regrease wheel bearings at the minimum...possibly replace them. Expect possibly needing break rotors turned, and maybe new pads. Expect to change out the differential grease, along with the transmission oils. Is it carbed or fuel injected? Possibly ought to eventually run some carb cleaner or fuel injector cleaner through em. Probably not too big a deal, but check your engine and transmission mounts. Check power steering (if equipped) and gearbox for leaks and flush their fluids. Those costs can add up quick, or could totally dissapear. It really depends on where this car was stored, and how well it was prepped to be stored away. If he expected to store it for a long time, he may have taken preventative measures, and could save you a lot of time and money.
Oh, a kinda important note....where do you live, and where has this car been sitting? Outside, exposed to the cats, rats, and elephants or inside a nice dust tight garage? This could make a huge difference in what all needs to be replaced, and what is salvagable.
