I would only add that spraying some fogging oil down the cylinders would be quite beneficial especially after no start ups for six months after cold storage.

I store my C6 all three or four winter days that there is snow on the ground here once every two or three years.

Do what I just did and sell your Corvette while the selling is good, then just buy a new one when spring hits! Once used 14's start hitting lots in larger quantities I think the boom will be bust. Maybe I'm just insane, but sitting on $30k earning a decent ROI seems like a good bet as opposed to a potential price crash in the coming months.

Thanks for all the feedback. There is some stuff I never would have thought of. Its going to be inside, but the garage isn't heated.

This will be my first Vette Winter.

Why add 3-4lbs of air to the tires?

What battery Tender do you recommend?

I'm guessing the 3-4 lbs is to minimize any possibility of the flat spots.

Bring that puppy down to Phoenix to store it, if you have cold weather concerns. Inside storage is available for less than $100/mo or outside for half of that. I'd be willing to start it and take it for a short drive to get everything up to proper temperatures as often as you'd like. Keeping the car somewhat active is much better than just letting it sit for long periods.
