If the car has been out of commission for years it may take a few hundred, or a few thousand miles of driving for it to return to normal. In the meantime it may smoke a bit.

Do a compression test if you are worried. A compression test, and oil pressure readings will tell you the condition of the rings, bearings and pistons.
