65 Parisienne convertible.one of 49 built for RHD export market,402BBC, T400, 2500 stally, posi rear, upgraded brakes with front discs, FUEL FAST efi custom built by me.
I change oil, grease and this year I coated the undercarriage with rust check. I am slowly trying to remove all the road tar build up and the rust check appears to be helping. I also use a can of EOS with every oil change. Full tank of shell super and a healthy dose of fuel stabalizer. Compound and wax put a layer of thick cardboard on the garage floor back the car in disconnect the battery and cover the car. The 55 stays like that until late spring. I only use AC Delco batteries and they last for many years.
Hi all, read through a number of posts, including this one looking for winter storage tips. My car is kept in my insulated but generally unheated (It has electric BB heaters but generally don't turn on) newer shop ( see pic). It's stored with a breathable car cover, windows down and top up. Fuel Stabilizer, disconnected battery, a few PSI in tires on rigid polystyrene (Dow Cladmate etc). Being on the 'wet' coast I'm concerned about condensation etc so I've put a Dri-Z air drying device inside that uses calcium chloride crystals. For many years I used in our RV and kept inside reasonably dry and fresh. I was thinking it should help my car too? Any comments good or bad are much appreciated.

Unhook the battery, but charge it periodically. Dollar Store dryer sheets, cheap cologne (gifts over the years), and anti-desiccate kitty litter in perforated yogurt containers.

Yes, out on the wet coast the humidity(mold) will kill a car/boat/rv. The trick is to keep the air moving otherwise the mold will start to grow.Have used and made a bunch of these for many years. Put one in my 26' boat and was clean as a whistle in the spring, also have one in my camper. If your worried about the humidity/moisture in the air this will keep your car thinking it's summer out. With car windows open and a piece of rubber on the floor you can make one of these. It's a coffee can with slots cut in the bottom with a light bulb mounted inside. The heat from the bulb pulls the cool air from the bottom slots cut in the can and circulates/dries the air. Used a 100watt bulb in the boat/camper but in a smaller area like a car interior could use a 20watt-40watt. Might cost .40 a month to run. Also have one made out of a heavy piece of pipe. They also work great to keep outside animals(chickens/rabitts etc) water thawed in the winter,just place under water container.
Stainless steel wool in the intake and exhaust to stop pests. Seafoam. Pull the battery or dont pull it but charge it. fresh oil. Don't use regular fuel for storage. Fill tires and park on rubber pads. Wash.
