Wash and wax. Fill the fuel tank, don't forget the fuel stabilizer. Drive the car around so the stabilizer gets to the carb. Put the car up on jack stands, so the weight is off of the suspension and remove the tires. Remove the spark plugs, shoot a little oil in the cylinders, turn the engine over a couple of times and replace the plugs. Disconnect the battery, make sure its full and put it on the charge. (Harbor frieght tools sells a great trickle charger for about ten bucks.) Put a couple of desicant bags in the car, crack the windows, put a car cover on and you should be good to go. Don't forget the lube job, oil change and tune up when you wake her up again. J.
