Most collector insurance requires garaged as a condition of insurability.

Mine stays in the basement nice and dry. As long as I have had it, it has never spent the night out in the rain, at least 10 years.

My classic insurance company says garaged and wired/alarmed only. My whole house is alarmed so what the heck. The other morning I hit the garage door open device before I deactivated and I had a Persian cat going ballistic with the siren. Do you know how strange a cat can be when hit with 100db at high frequency? My scars are healing.
Does the car see the outside? On sunny days. Has it seen rain? Once since I owned it.

The almost completed chassis is inside and the body is outside until just before snow.

I would take that garage instantly! Be happy of what you have, because when you have no where to put the car and it rains, it really is a bummer

I had to leave my corvette convertible outside for 6months while we enlarged the garage to hold both toys. The camaro went to live at a indoor hotel spa . But, the little red headed vette convertible was forced to stay under a open car port under a house on piles. So the salt air and rain was still hammering it. It went DOWN HILL sitting under this house , more rust , aluminum parts flaking away, ect in 6 months than it total previous life put together. Its always been garaged. It back inside . Every bolt , clamp and exposed metal is rusted. I'll spend this winter cleaning up the parts , repairing and painting. Since the camaro was allmtal , the vette volunteered to take the outside home last winter. Wow ......I was shocked by how much it could drop off sitting outside for only 6 months. 
NOT even in the sun or direct rain.

For most vette nuts probably their second most cherished possession after their vette is their garage.
You can never have too much money or too much garage space.
I'd be leaning on my brother to get his put back together.
