Yearly Preventative Maintenance
I've had my stock '74 2.7 for a few years and have been lucky enough not to have any issues. Here's my question, what yearly maintenance should be preformed aside from oil change. Presently I only drive it about 1500 miles per year.

It depends on miles and how hard you drive your car. I put about 10K (or more) on my car every year and generally speaking I like to swap,
- Air filter - Oil filter (every other oil change) - Spark plugs - Distro cap and rotor - Fan Belt (dont forget the shims!) If its been a while and i want to turn some wrenches - Fuel Filter - Break pads - Check the CV Joints - Check the rotors - Check all rubber bits - Headlights when they die - Other odds and ends bulbs when they die - Tires if I need them Regards Dave

This is a good thread and looking forward to reviewing all the answers. OP, if you want to turn this into a list this might be a great itemized list that we can add to our tech article library for others that may be curious about how to take care of their maintenance on their P car that may sit more than it's driven. Let me know if this interests you (would get 10% off your next order with us if you decide to go this route). Info on that is here, but we may have to do yours a little bit differently: Enthusiast Tech Article Submissions - Pelican Parts.
Anyways, for my input, for something that sits mostly I probably would still do a yearly detail with a paint sealant for added/extra protection. Do you have a car cover for it? Assuming it's stored in the garage? Be sure to inspect your tires closely as I'm sure the tires on your P car might hit an age limit before wearing down. Listed below some items that I utilize. I'm sure more Pelicans will chime in as well. Sealant Liquid Paint Sealant - 16oz - PelicanParts.com GarageGuard Indoor Car Covers - Pelican Parts |

 This is what I have on my to do list. Change brake fluid, change trans fluid, shift bushings, maybe a wevo, tidy up some rust in front of battery, remove ac components, and maybe move battery to smugglers box.
