It sounds like a fast idle, and possibly the curb idle speed issue with the carburetor. When a car sits for long periods, fuel tends to gum up, or varnish, the jets and internals causing general running issues, particularly noticeable at idle speeds. I would recommend you first make sure the carb isn't gummed up and has clean fresh fuel, then try a simple cleaning to loosen and remove varnish. Make sure to clean the external levers and rods.

Good luck!
