Rather than steel wool, I just slip a can over the end of the tailpipe and secure it with a wrap of duct tape. I no longer put the car up on jackstands but I do overinflate the bias ply tires for winter storage. Not had any tire flat-spotting since the days of Rayon cord. I do fog the engine internals with some motor oil, do an oil change, and put a vapor tight seal over the gas tank filler for my storage which is usually from late November until early April. Moth balls for the wool interior of course. Trickle charger on for a few hours once a month or so. I've been pretty much following this regime since the 1970s.


More great tips! I like the idea of the vapour tight seal on the fuel tank filler!

I edited my original post to make it a more comprehensive list of storage tips.
