I have had the extreme good fortune of finding a 3.0cs coupe that I will soon be taking delivery on.

The PO tells me that the engine was well maintained and was super tight the day he last drove it.(Over 5 years ago) That presents the problem. Assuming the engine is tight (with only 60,000 mi. it may be the truth), what kind of preparations should I make before I fire up the engine??

Also, with a car that has been sitting in a garage (unheated in New England) for so long, what kind of problems should I anticipate???

(Please don't say rust....)
