At that age you might as well just change all the fluids. Oil, coolant, transmission, rear axle, and dump the gas if it hasn't been driven in a while.
Have fun with your car, sounds like it's probably pretty darn nice.

My 2.8 says she likes 5W30 
New fluids wouldn't hurt at all. Sounds like you got a great daily driver, let's see some pictures!

Sure, you should ALWAYS change the fluids when buying a used car.
Personally I'd flush the motor... the 2.8 down the drain, and something modern, with all its cylinders, back in its place.

Looks great! Love the color! Create a thread and in the history section the guys over there would love to see this one. Less the weird hood scope but a really nice car.
