For a start, get yourself a car cover. Indoors you don't have to worry about weather, but dust does collect in a closed garage. You don't need anything fancy....just a plain cotton cover will do. Next you should have a battery tender (not a battery charger). I use the Battery Tender Plus which works well, is easy to set up & will insure your battery doesn't lose any charge. Last for winter storage is a full tank of gas with fuel stabilizer....add the stabilizer & drive for 10 or 15 minutes to make sure it's mixed throughout the fuel system. Hope this info helps....

Same as Dave but I also inflate tires to 44 psi to reduce flat spots when it comes out in the spring. Also if you have issues with mice,some put steel wool in the exhaust pipes to discourage them from nesting. Lastly, I like to change the oil prior to storing.

with both responders. I do what they do, plus I put some Bounce Fabric Softener sheets inside the car interior in a few places, and some in the engine compartment just to make sure any rodents that may stray in the garage will stay away from the car. The Bounce sheets will also keep the interior smelling fresh for the hibernation period.

I've storing cars for 50+ years and can honestly say that the only time I've had problems was not putting Stabil in fuel that has any ethanol content...ethanol sucks big time!
Depending on miles/hours that have been driven in a season, I try to make sure there is fresh oil in the machine and a tank full of fresh fuel. Locally, our premium fuels do not have ethanol so I run premium in the lawn mower and snowblower in addition to all vehicles and do not put Stabil in the fuel tanks. I found that Stabil really screwed with my '66 L78 after adding it to the tank one year. I've owned my '66 for 47 years and added Satbil once...big mistake.
My vehicles are kept in a heated garage (winter is usually @ 52 f degrees) and I have not experienced any problems with flat spots on tires.
Once the season has ended, I wash my cars, plug in a battery tender, cover the car with a quality indoor cover, and then wait for spring.

Very sorry. Just took the top off the car yesterday. It should stay off most of the time now until May (at least I hope so.
