Default 78 indi pace corvette, water damage repair

ok guys i found a deal. its a 78 indi pace corvette with 49k miles on stock engine for $4k ,but they told me that the car was submerged under water during a recent hurricane for four hours. it wasnt salt water so the interior wasnt too bad, the seats are perfect and the carpet might have to be replaced

they drained the car, filled the engine with deisel so it wouldnt fudge, and pretty much cleaned the car good.

what kind of parts should be replaced for being submerged under water for 4 hours?

It's obviously going to be a pretty big PITA if they don't want to do it and want to dump it on you for $4k.
