PA new guy dumb question

i'm picking up a 86 gxl this week, one owner. it has 48,000 original miles. it's a na 5 speed, even has the original window sticker. its in very good shape and everything works.
i plan on changing all oils and fluids then doing a tune up. what if anything else should i look at or replace.
this car has done more sitting then running. are there any weak links that deserve a looking at?
i've looked at a lot of the second gen posts and searched but i haven't found anything that relates.
thanks

Do a compression test to ensure there are no stuck seals.

Where in pittsburgh are you located?

Check Aaron Cakes website, it describes how to buy an RX-7 and how to get one back on the road after sitting.

I can't remember his actual website name, but if you search on this forum, it will come up!
