putting the 914 away for the winter. indoor garage but not heated. anything special need to be done. will probably be able to start it up once a month or so, will that be enough? disconnect battery? gas treatment? quilted comforter? fluffy pillows?

I would advise raising up on jack stands, change oil and filter, trickle charger for battery, full tank of gas, Stabil gas stabilizer, start and run till warm every 3-4 weeks as possible. It's worked through 30 years of Chicago winters so far on my cars.

I forgot that I would also wash it carefully before putting it away, and get a loose fitting dust cover for it. I also leave the lids and doors slightly open to save the seals. You now have all winter to wax and detail it if you have that affliction.

I don't think that's Richie's style...

I always just keep a window open about an inch for some ventilation.

if you remember in the summer that car got washed and was always spotless. then it refused to run so..i took it apart...installation is the opposite of removal but took more time than i thought and was a heck of a lot messier.

Don't start your car at all warming it up is the worst thing that you can do for any car, unless you are going to drive it for about 10 miles,all you are doing is creating condensation that lays in the crankcase,exhaust system etc.etc. All the other advice you got is fine also the colder the storage area the better.

thanks gives me the incentive to get out and drive a little this winter. why is colder better?

Low temperature cuts down on the humidity.

Since colder is better, Buffalo sounds like the best place to store a car for the winter!!!

ship it to cali so it can be driven through the winter like a teener should be

Ditto on much of what's been said. I have a cover for mine and I put a small marine dehumidifier inside with the windows cracked. This adds just a little heat and keeps the inside really dry.

Maybe a few moth balls to deter rodents?

In addition to what others have said...Get an old piece of screen to cover the exhaust and intake pipes to keep the rodents out (if there is any risk of this as I found an entire nest inside the airbox when I bought my car years ago). Fill the fuel tank to the very top, as this wil prevent corrosion on the inside of the tank. Go to a boating store and you can buy a can of dessicant that will absorb moisure and prevent the car from smelling like your basement.
Some recommend jack stands, but then the shocks are all the way extended and succeptible to corrosion. I run the tire pressures to the maximum, and then roll the car back and fourth every couple of weeks to prevent flat spots. No need to start it up, unless you plan on driving it for at least 20 minutes to get all the moisture out. The hardest wear period on an engine is cold starting, so why do this if you don't need to? Disconnect the battery (or trickle charge) and let it sit. Steve
