So I'm finally putting my 92' GT back on the road tommarow. I can't even wait but I have a couple of Q's I need answers to. The last time the car was driven/started was october 2008. It has been in my driveway with all the fluids and a little less then 1/4 tank of gas since then. Now, when I go to start it up what do I need to do besides siphoning the old gas/ putting in new gas, and replacing the battery and making sure the fluids are all topped off? I figure that should be enough to at least get it going until I can bring it somewhere to replace the tranny fluid and I replace the coolant etc... Any input is greatly needed and appreciated, Thnx

Sounds like you have the right plan. Make sure the battery is charged good etc.

pull the plugs the night before and spray some wd-40 in the cylinders. likely not necessary but it couldnt hurt. I would also take the coil wire off while the plugs are out and crank the motor. this will run the oiling system and get everything ready for when you run it.
