Due to past health issues, I have stored in a garage and not started a 1996 corvette in 4 years. What do I need to do to it before starting and driving? Also before storing it the windows would not go up or down most of the time, they seldomly worked at all. What do I check regarding the windows? Other that the car ran well.
Hopefully you used a good fuel stabilizer before storage. Check your oil and coolant levels. If the car didn't smoke before storage, then you should be ok with starting it. If it did, you may want to spray a little dab of wd-40 or some other type of lubricant into each plug, or just remove airfilter and spray just a tad while starting, not really necessary, but can give you a little piece of mind. You should change your oil and filter at your first convenience, and when you do start it, run it for a good 20 minutes to burn off any impurities in the engine. Before driving, check your tires and air pressure. I would recommend changing tires if you see any signs of dryrot or cracking in the sidewalls before driving very fast(above 70). The rubber in tires will degrade over time, it is harder on them in storage than driving them.
