Temps wont harm anything. Get a dehumidifier and see how fast it fill up. It it fill pretty quickly then get two. also throw a couple desecant bags in the interior, trunk, and under the hood. Put it on jack stands with the suspension unloaded, and cover it. If you really want to get crazy pull you spark plugs and squirt some oil into all of the cylinders and crank it around a couple times. then put the plugs back in. All good ideas. A cover will keep in the moisture, unless you go with a breathable cover, but if there is alot of moisture in the garage, I dont think the breathable cover would save anything. I use my covers mainly to keep dust off of the vehicles. Joker6, do you have any cars in mind? I know of a 66 Pontiac LeMans that is just sitting in a guy’s driveway (been there about a year). He wanted $10k for it, but that was when it was all shiny & stuff. Plus, someone hit the driver’s door (it is on a bend on rte 130 in Penn Twp, and someone must have slid into it on an icy day - it looks like only the door was damaged). The car is in decent shape, but could use a repaint (it has been repainted, because mayfair maize is the original color - a light yellow). Actually, with a new driver’s door & a good detail, the car would be a nice driver. It is red w/black interior. The paint is very oxidized, but would probably buff out & look ok. It has a fairly new interior. It is a 326 V8/auto. He told me he bought it in Las Vegas & had it shipped back to PGH. I think he thought he would make a quick buck on it, but found out it is not a $10k car. I looked at this car last year around this time & told the guy I would give him $5k for it. He declined (he thinks it is as valuable as a GTO). It is a $4500-$5000 car. If you are not worried about having a GTO, or are looking for a car to modify, then this would be a great car. I would offer him $3500-$4000 & see what he says. I am just putting this out there, as I do not know this guy, or would profit in any way from the sale. My interest is to save the car. I just cringe everytime I drive past it, because I would love to buy it & save it from it’s demise of sitting outside, right along the main road. But I have my Truck, bike, & my GTO, and no more space in the garage. PM me if you want more details. I looked this car over pretty good last year. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/keeping-a-car-over-winter/189080)._
