lol... I stored mine this year without an engine.....

but I usually take the battery out.... bump the tire pressure...

load the interior with bounce sheets... (mice)
fill the fuel tank...
lock 'er up and cover it up.

 

Bounce sheets seem to be taking over from moth ***** likely cause the mice like the smell better? I wonder if either really work? In 5 yeras I have never had a prob but it could also be just a coincidence?

 

If I was forced to store my car outside (you know, my dad's *** can't be cold in the mornings, not like has heated seats... oh yeah, he does...) what's a good practice?

 

You know, that was my fathers old school ways, put moth *****. Nothing stinks more and ruins a car than that wretched old person smell :biggrin:

Traps work best, on the outside of a car of course.

Maybe you are using old moth ***** !!:laughhard

 

I park my GT on cut out plywood for each tire with styro foam under them,and have a tarp under her aswell,tires are over inflated a tad,fuel tank is full,and has stabilizer in her,fresh oil in the pan is always good aswell with a new filter,moth *****....depending were you store it,but since i have my own garage,the last two years i haven't done this step,bounce sheets are always good aswell,and i give her a good cleanning,and polishing,but i polish her threw out the winter anyways LOL!!Helps me get the winter blues to go away .

 

As far as flat spots I put the car in neutral an roll it back or forwards a foot or so hence no flat spots. I guess I just want to be my former self, Hercules:biggrin:

 

With current tires today,there really isn't any worries about flat spots.I have never had an issue with flat spots with any of the two mustangs i have had when storing.
It's the ol' bias ply(spelling) tires you would need to worry about,and i'm sure that most of us today really don't run a "dino" tire,especially with todays technology on tires.

 

Bumping up the air pressure a little helps and 1 guy I know parks his on pieces of styro foam to avoid flat spotting.

I put some stabilizer in the tank and fill it to the top.

I do an oil change right away once I take it out of storage.

One thing though, the AC needs to be on every 2-3 weeks as the freon carries lubricating oil with it as it circulates through the system. If it is left off alot I have been told that the o rings tend to dry out and crack and this leads to the freon escaping and then this causes AC problems.

This is one reason I have been told to start the car every now and then just to have the AC run for 5 minutes a month.

I am certainly not saying this is 100% correct but this is what a few old timers who store a few classic cars told me. They say they do this and never have to deal with AC failure.

 

Some great info guys, take care. Lloyd
