Long term storage of your car
 
I've received an offer to work outside of the U.S. that is hard to pass up. It would require me to live over seas for three years. I would be able to return to the U.S. every six months for an six week break. My question to you is if I take this job, how should I store my 67 Camaro for the time period that I am gone?

Any advice (other than parking it in your garage) would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Put it on jack stands, drain fliuds below seals. and if you have solid cam loosen the rockers. Be sure to drain the fuel system completely. Disconnect battery.

Or you can let anyone of
 
Us drive your car to keep it in tip top shape. Battery will not be drained, all internal engine components will be lubed. :lol: All joking aside, yeah, put it on a jack stands, take them wheels off, put in fuel stabilizer and keep the battery charge.

Good luck

I would go ahead and take it out of the car, for the short time it takes to take it out and put it back in it just makes sence to take it out.

Are you going to drive it every six months when you come back?

Damn, I was going to offer that you could leave it at my garage and I could do stories on it while you're gone.

Oh well :(
