None of the above.

Change all fluids and filters (air, fuel and cabin). That includes the oil, brake fluid and coolant. Make sure tires and brake pads are fully functioning. If the tires are old then ditch 'em. Look at records and make sure the car has had spark plugs, etc.

Then drive it for a while before you do anything.

Folks will chime in about the IMS Guardian, but that car is probably a dual row (look it up) and failure rate is microscopic.

Post some pictures.
