What to maintain/repair on an original survivor?, I have a rare original condition 73 1.7L that ... Options

...I bought from my original owner Dad in 2002 with 41K mi. and have been driving it since, now with 58K miles. It has been to 5 Okteenerfests among other events, and some members here have seen this very clean car. I'm wondering what remains of near 50 yr. old lubricants, and what should I be most concerned about replacing? I've replaced shocks/springs, injectors/ and other necessary items, but now am thinking about old lube in CVs, bearings, and other rolling parts. I can do most maintenance wrenching, but hate to disturb working systems, if it ain't broke should I fix it. What should be the priorities here? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

My plastic fuel lines are still soft & flexible. The car is a "73 with 48K miles. Go figure. Did Porsche use different materials for these lines depending upon the logistics & timing of the assembly process?

BTW, I did replace the "rubber" tubing at the gas tank, fuel pump, & fuel injectors (IIRC). I also replaced the fuel pump & it's rubber mounts. That was a PITA since this really takes two people, but I managed to do it solo. It would have been much easier if my arms were twice as long. I hate working with gasoline. BTW, sweet car!!!
