Default Picked up my Z today

SO, I picked up the 91 #1147 today (Ebay auction). I haven't had a chance to really go over anything on it, but the issues that I've noted so far:

Oil cooler lines leaking slowly
Oil temp gauge inop
Oil press gauge inop (seller told me he broke sender when changing belt)

Not much power until 3k-3500 rpm, seems to bog before that point.
Starting seems to take excessively long time
Poor fuel mileage (~22mpg average on the trip back)
I don't think the secondaries are working -- I can't feel much difference with the key on or off
Idle is high after coming down from cruise
(I suspect that the above issues are vacuum related)

Horn is inop
Bose radio turns on but no sound from radio, no controllability.

Headlight motors continue to make noise well after headlights are retracted.

Outer window sweeps are trashed, A-pillar weatherstrips are not great.

Rear tires are in need of replacement

I'm sure I'll find some more flaws as I dissect the car more, but it got me 150 miles home without stranding me I found out the car has been sitting a while, so there will no doubt be some issues. I'm still happy with the deal I got, the interior is in nice shape overall and is complete. The body looks clean, I think the paint may not be original but I can't confirm yet.

Any thoughts welcomed!

Here's a pic from the drive home, and a quick snap of my now-crowded garage (the white 94/383 LT1/ZF6 is for sale!)
