resurrecting 220d from 3 year sleep

Bought an older restoration 71 220d. Looks great and runs strong, but since getting it a number of break downs have occurred. Fuel lines cracked, steering coupling gave out, couple of other odd ball minor annoyances.

Last night while on the interstate, the clutch went to the floor and stayed there. No pedal at all. I put more fluid in, and got some pedal and limped on home in first, too scared to try and ship.

Any ideas of what the likely culprit is? Seems like I have problems with everything that is rubber on the car. Are there parts in the clutch system that are rubber and likely to give out?

What other problems should I anticipate with a car that has been sitting that long?

Thanks
