The salt air drifts in and covers the car 100%, including the underneath, and rusts in places you didn't even know existed. Also can cause electrical gremlins.
This is a big part of it. Expect to have to replace the entire wiring harness. Every connection can and likely has corrosion and that can cause endless issues.

That car will need to be stripped to the tub, and all new rubber and wiring. Likely the engine will need to be stripped down for a good cleaning and replating and repainting and new fuel hoses. It goes on and on.
