This 82collector car has sat on showroon for 13 years

Looking to purchase a C3 82 corvette collector edition with 19700 mi. However, I was told that all the calipers were replace due to leakage. The master cylinder was replaced. Fuel pump and new sock in tank as well. When asked if it ran, it was started and slightly moved. What should I look for once she's warmed up?. I heard get it hot and check the tranny dipstick for shavings and smell if its burnt. I'm concerned that the seals may be brittle or will wear out as soon as I start driving it every weekend. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! The Car is absolutely MINT.Thank You.
