In neutral with handbrake off how much rolling resistance should be experienced on a flat surface?

Have no idea how you would "measure" this as it would be subjective by whoever was pushing.

Tire pressure, toe-in, brake drag, ...

Tire pressure, toe-in, brake drag, ...thinking brake drag? When I bought the car last year did a brief safety check for leaks, pad rotor thickness and bled some fluid to check for color and moisture. Then off to paint. Right rear seems to smell like linings on occasion?

Does it still have the original brake calipers up front???
Those phenolic pistons are infamous for sticking.
Or you could have a weak brake hose.

Or you could have a weak brake hose.looks like orig calipers with newer rotors and pads. Could the hand brake be hanging up?

Best way to find out is get car up in the air and see how freely each wheel rotates by hand. fronts should be easy, rears take into account rear axle.
