Is it an automatic or manual? I'd want to change the ultramatic fluid if it's an auto if it were me, and check for debris, etc. You never know what's happened to a car or how it was driven before you got it. Lots of cars parked for that long because no one wanted to fix a tough issue like a burnt out tranny.

Or to fix the muffler

If you're going to get it going yourself, do some searches. You'll find good advice like dropping the pan and cleaning the pickup screen, fresh lube, etc. You'll want to be checking axle fluid and brakes etc before test driving. You may find that some ignition tune up and a new battery are needed before it will run smooth enough to drive.
