Guys in my unit parked their cars for 15 months at a time. Maybe some dead batteries, but no other issues with the guys that took care of regular maintenance. My 66 was on blocks for 15 months too, only issue it had was a fuel pump that went bad.

Your car should be just fine if it was on a battery tender with Sta-bil in the tank. Drive easy til it is good and warm.

Just took mine out on Friday since my truck went in for some warranty work. No problems just going to change the oil before my 18 hour trip down to El Paso, TX where Im going to be stationed later this week.

I do the same thing with my car over the winter. never had an issue yet taking it out of storage. Only thing you can do in addition would be to put the car on jack stands for the time it's stored. That eliminate the flat spots.

Even when not in storage, my Stang would often sit for 2 weeks at a time and usually had some minor flat spotting. And in cooler weather it can sit overnight and flat spot so I'm not concerned about it although having it jacked WOULD have been my preference.

I was confident all would be fine before I started this post and all of the responses simply make it even better.
