It looks decent and seems to have spent most of its life in a garage.

My question is, is it possible to expect any kind of raliability froma
car of that age? A lot of rubber components etc would ave dried
out. Any thoughts?

Go to a auto parts store and price out some common components like
rotors, starters, exhaust, ignition computers, ect.
