Soaring

I guess the 20 feet thing would at least turn the bearings and such, but not much of a workout IMO. If you can find a nice day during the winter, it is best to get it out on the road. But, if the salt thing is hampering that, then I guess at least jack up the rear and run it so the tranny, rear and rear bearings are lubed.

Here is some good info on storage http://www.allmystuff.org/storage.htm

That's a good check list, and I believe everything we have mentioned in this thread covers that, except maybe a good wax job before storing it. I just assume everyone who owns a classic Mustang has a good wax build-up at all times.

Thanks, I have had that on my wbe site for a very long time.

Here's a much better one that can be printed and used. http://www.allmystuff.org/checklist.htm

I dont put up my stang for winter. At least i dont usually. Hopefully i'll be buying a newer mustang around November, and i will put up the stang finally.

I just spoke to JJ Best, who has a huge facility nearby for winter storage. Heated with wooden and rubber floors so there is no dampness, there is security as well. I need to show a title to prove the cars are mine. $85 for one car per month and if I want to take it out once a month or so, I can if I call in advance, M-F, 9-5.

With the heated unit I don't have to worry about the coolant or radiator, and with no dampness I can put rust issues aside. I will go once a month and just start it up and drive it forward and back a few times if not take it out on the road weather dependant. I'll put in a full tank with stabilizer, change the oil and filter before I store it, and I think I should be all set.

They have about 60 cars there including a few Shelbys, so it sounds like the perfect solution for at least one car.

$85 a month is okay if you don't have a garage? If you have a garage to put it in, sounds like allot when you can do it yourself for MUCH less in you're own garage..

Just spend $250 and get one of these? I did this for my 78 Corvette which only had 27,000 orginal miles on it and it was an NCRS 100 point winner.

I have a garage for my regular vehicle. I pay more than $85 a month for garage space to store it now, but it's not for storage as I can take it out every day if I choose. I'm going to use that space for another car I just purchased.

Garage stall rents around here in a good area are $150 a month or so, so the $85 a month to me is a bargain, especially since it's heated and has security.

Yeah.. I dont have a heated space for the car.. Either plug it in with a block heater or make absolutely sure the antifreeze is gonna work. If you dont its a guaranteed cracked block. My blocks dont grow on trees and a replacement is usually $3000-$5000 before machine work... so yeah, $85 for heated is pretty good...
