   Hello again.   
      
   Another question for ya'll..  my grand mother told me she wants to give me her   
   car since she's 97 and can't drive anymore.  It's a 1968 Mustang.  She bought   
   it new and babied it for the last fifty years or so.  She said she stopped   
   driving it only a year or two ago, but I have a feeling her 97 year old memory   
   may be not entirely accurate, heh.  I know she was still driving at 93, so at   
   worst I'll assume it has been sitting for four years.   
      
   It's kept in a garage thankfully.  Once I take possession, what do you think   
   would be a good plan of action for getting it back on the road?  I figure drain   
   and replace fuel tank, replace fuel lines, fuel pump, tires, disassemble and   
   inspect all the brakes (probably four wheel drum...  sigh), new fluids/filters.   
    What else might I be forgetting?   
      
   My friend's car is off the road with a bad water pump, so I'm gonna snatch her   
   tag to throw on the Mustang so AAA will tow it.  I figure I don't want to start   
   it with the crappy years old gas in it, don't wanna foul up the carb unless   
   perhaps I'm being too paranoid there and it won't matter?  I also figure rather   
   than drive an unproven vehicle that has been off the road for years the 230   
   mile trip home, probably safer to just tow it anyway.     
      
   I'm not much of a mechanic, so I figured I'd ask the community what they feel   
   would be a good list of things to check :)
