:verynice: always liked saleens. Did you buy it new?

 

Thanks. I stored it in a heated unit and just disconnected the battery. We often got into the negative temps there.

Lol That first crank in the spring was so hard on the car! Worst sound you ever heard. The car shook, water sprayed out of the pipes, and the alarm came on, sounded like a weak kitten.

Anyway I sure I wish I knew what I do now. The post up a bit is excellent info. Certainly the way to go.

 

Okay. I bought all of the supplies I felt I'd need. I was going through my checklists of to-dos, and got to adding STA-BIL. And then I encountered a problem.

The capless gas tank needs an actual gas pump nozzle to open it up. I tried using a funnel, and using portable gas tank nozzles, but none of them did the job. I don't know how to add the STA-BIL with this capless design.

 

Check your trunk
Theres a funnel that does the job back there.

 

This is retarded. This isn't 1957, nor are the cars that old either.

Step one.
Park in Garage.

Step two.
Pull out of Garage

My father actually has a genuine classic. (1955 Bel-Air). All he does is park it in the garage, and put it on jackstands. that's it. No voodoo, no stabil, nothing special.

 

Here is what i've been doing with my last five 'Stangs.

-Change oil & filter
-Top off gas
-Add Sta-bil and run engine for 10 minutes.
-Wash
-Increase tire pressure to 35-37 psi
-disconnect battery and use a battery tender.
-mine sits in a heated garage, but i still start her up every once in a while for 15-20 minutes.

 

Mine is about the same. Also about the same for my Dad's 64 Car. Most tips are shared or used from Haggerty Ins.

Change oil
Stabil in tank and drive a bit so in the lines
Clean
New for this year I have it up on Flat Stoppers
Maintainer Charger (CTEK Charger)
Car Cover, and with zip lock baggies on the exhaust pipes
Insurace set for storage

 

Sheesh! This seems like a lot of trouble to me.

Here what I do.

1. drive it.
2. drive it.
3. if it snows slow down.

Been doing this since I got my first Stang in 1985.

 

Good call. I checked the trunk the day I took the car home, and haven't lifted the carpet since then. Guess I forgot about that.

 

Mine has been detailed and under the covers until next spring....it's gonna be a long winter....

 

Easy winter storage....head south!

I feel for you folks up north that have to put up with the snow, salt, and nasty weather.

 

had to store mine too. i got a covercraft car cover from car covers direct, they'll tell you what kind of cover you need for where and how long your storing it and I got 10% because it was custom!
