Wow, this is a tough one. Do you feel lucky?
IMO, the biggest issue will be the fuel- esp in Cali- no way it is still usable after four years. YOU MUST DRAIN AND FLUSH!!!! Try to get what you can out of the lines as well. Add a bottle of Techron and then fill it up. Trans is likely OK. Engine oil should be changed- if it was mine, I would open the drain plug and let it sit for 24 hours, then change filter and re-fill with an inexpensive synthetic. Run to operating temperature, then change oil and filter again, fill with the good stuff. Tires may be toast- will be flat spotted for sure from sitting that long without use- figure on replacing those right away. Then there are the brakes. Flush lines, turn rotors and replace pads- I know you are in SOCAL, but the risks are too great to ignore. Last, pay some attention to the cooling system- I would change the coolant and take a hard look at the drive belt and hoses- belt may have bonded itself to a pulley or two.
Good Luck!
