I did this before and I am about to do this again with my iold 72 Satellite!
The first mopar, and first slant six I ever owned, was a 1978 Plymouth Volare wagon that I got for free from a friend. it had been sitting outside his parent's house for about five years before I got it.
I drove it away (barely) from his house after doing the following:
(1) replace oil and filter.
(2) put fresh gas in tank.
(3) replacing the battery
It started and drove, but was covered with moss and had only one working brake.
To get it roadworthy I ended up having to replace the water pump, fuel pump, fuel filter, oil pump, carb, and rebuild the brakes including brake lines. This occurred over a several month long period, but all were necessary.
If your car has been covered, I would suggest you change your fluids and filters (and be prepared to rebuild the carb), and give the brakes, hoses, and tires a good going over before you put it back into daily service. It also wouldn't hurt to give the suspension and u-joints a good lube.
Remember, when you start itthe first time pull the coil to distributor wireand crank the engine for about 30 seconds (you will need to anyway to get some gas to the carb). This should pre-lube the motor with fresh oil. Then reconnect the coil wire, cros your fingers, and fire it up.
Keep us posted and post some pictures!
