(although it's a good sign it started up and runs good) While you're in the engine compartment I'd check the serpentine belt. Take the belt off and check all the pulleys for play.

If stored outside I'd check the tires for dry rot (small cracks) and the brakes. Maybe get yourself a AAA subscription, if you don't have one.

Other than that, enjoy the drive.
Yeah it’s been in climate controlled outbuilding and has been driven each summer it’s just had very little miles.
