I have a 73.5 that did a lot of sitting in the 19 years I've owned it. Your two biggest issues will be:

1) CIS - Clean and/or replace any fuel line before you run the fuel pump. Most likely, the fuel dist. will need to be cleaned. The cold start valve is very unique to this year only. Very hard to find and expensive. Check the fuel system carefully for vac. leaks. Once ready to start the car, remember the cold start valve is activated only by pulling the handle throttle all the way up. It's only in operation while the starter is cranking, so it's no uncommon for the engine to start and then die right away for a few times in cold weather.

2) Brakes - Pull the rubber flexible lines going to each caliper and see if you can get compressed air thru them. The swell from the inside and often don't let the calipers retract. Better yet, just replace them. Then check for dragging calipers - likely they will need gone thru. Depends on the humidity of were the car was stored......M/C likely needs rebuilt or replaced.

Other than that, keep it stock and enjoy it.......G'luck.....
