The best way by FAR would be to just ship it down here to me in sunny Florida and I'll keep it nice and warm for you, plus I promise I won't drive it around, well, maybe just a little. Good idea, right.

I've had a good 50 plus Muscle cars over my life time, I never did anything out of starting once or twice a winter and that was that.  Never had any issues but keep in mind my winters in the North East of the US would be about Dec to March.

You may also want to get a couple boxes of Bounce Dryer Sheets. That isd if you will be storing it in an out building,barn, or somewhere where there is a rodent presence. They hate that stuff. Put them on the ground under the car and in the trunk and interior floor. We use it for boats, cars, and BTS systems and it works great to keep the little buggers out.
