Hey! :seeya

This HELP section is for questions relating to the use of the forum itself. With a nice '69, you can ask the experts in the C3 Section:

Change oil and filter
Full tank of gas with Sta-bil or other gasoline stabilizer
Fresh wash (and waxing good idea, too)
Check air in tires
Disconnect battery
Some people cut up a bar of Irish Spring to put in interior to keep vermin out, but I don't do this one.
Others suggest moisture barriers, etc, but that depends on your storage area/facility.

Good luck and pray for a short winter
