Winter coming, need advice for this newbie...

I'm close - Eastern CT anyways... Last winter my '65 was in the weather all winter, and it's not garaged over the summer. Same oil. No problems. What you do want to make sure of is the car is washed and waxed. I don;t like car covers myself, but a good coat of wax will keep the crap off and let the wind blow things dry. Try to store it on rock, concrete, or pavement - wet grass/earth isnt good. I unhook the battery. I left mine outseide in it because I had to plow the area, but if the car can be stagnant remove it. Fill the car cabin, cowl, engine bay, and trunk with drier sheets - mice hate them, they last all winter, and the car doesn't smell like moth balls. When you do run it - let it warm up completely. Preferably drive it for a few miles. If you can't drive it, let it run for a while an not just at idle. Lastly - the gas you can get now will be sour in 4 months. So use a stabilizer and fill the tank. When it's 10 % ethanol it evaporates very fast - much faster than it used to.
