Check tire condition and pressure, oil level, brake pedal is firm. Check the wipers and washers work OK for the drive, in case it rains.
As you're driving, listen for any nasty noises that might indicate a problem and check for hot smells that would warn that the cooling flaps had stuck closed or there was something else wrong with the cooling system. Take a tow rope, some electrical wire and basic toolset in case of emergencies. Enjoy!

Hey - I just bought my first Type 3, and will be picking it up tomorrow. It's a '73 Fastback, only 36K miles, but it's been sitting (except for periodic starts) for the last couple of years.
