Plan on replacing or reconditioning the gas tank it will be rusted inside. I carbureted rebuilding the carb if injected the injectors may be ok but may need cleaning or replacing. Any steel fuel lines need replacing. Brake calipers may or may not be ok, flush out/replace the brake fluid and see if the brakes drag afterwards. Everything else should be ok after cleaning and lubing. Good luck. PS if it not close to free take a pass
