I had no idea where to post this because the are are so many "auto" and
"car" groups on the web, but I will try this one??  My older brother who
is in the army, is giving me his car because he doesn't have time for it
anymore because of his army duties. It is a 1981 Chevy Camaro with a V8
305 engine. Now, because he has been away for so long, the car has
basically just sat in the garage in the same spot for almost 6 years now
and hasn't moved. The battery is now dead, and the car has not run in
about 5 years as well.

So my question is, what has to be done/checked to make sure the car is
driveable?? I know that it needs a new battery. I also know that the
gasoline should be changed as well. The old gas needs to be pumped out,
and new gas poured in. I also read somewhere that if a car sits in the
same spot ( like this one has ) for many years, that it ruins the tires,
and they need to be replaced.  But what else should be done?? What about
changing the oil and antifreeze??? What about checking the brakes??? So
can all you smart tech guys help this gal out and give me some info. and
advice??? I really would appreciate it!!!
Thank you!!!
