So I am putting my camaro away for the winter...I am storing it in a friends gaurage. I am going to have him start it every once in a while. What all should I do besides have him start it to ensure everything will be fine come spring?

 

DryGas or other fuel treatment. Run the car a bit to make sure it gets to the carb (or whatever, if its that old). Kind of the same thing you'd do for an ATV I think.

Top off the tank, you want as little air as possible in there. Make sure the tires are inflated - if they sit still while low they can crack. If the car's inside, maybe leave one window open about half an inch to keep it from getting moldy or stale inside (if it's above freezing in a shed or something outside).

Also, charge the battery every once in a while. Or drive it around once a month or so. That's better because it moves all parts and recharges the battery.

 

Throw some rat posion down.......trust me........you'll thank me later........

 

Unless the garage is heated you are better off not starting the car. Everytime you start it and shut it down it creates condensation in the motor. Unless you are going to run it long enough to get everything up to full running temperature and dry out everything its counter-productive. The best thing to do is put some stabil in the gas, run it a while then spray some fogger in the carb (unless it is injected ) and shut it down. Either unhook or pull the battery and if possible jack it up and get the tires hanging to prevent flat spots. I've been storing my collector car for 24 years this way without a hitch.
