Storing a 355 (sob) for the winter...

why do you need to store it somewhere? I would also check with insurance as they normally don't like cars left with third parties for extended periods of time

 

where in NJ are you located? I have possible storage in north east nj.

 

I grew up in westfield, too bad classic coach is filled as they are pretty close

 

Ben,

I'm not sure if starting the car once a week while in storage is best for the car. I'm not far from you. A number of us nearby are not letting our cars hibernate over the winter. I intend to drive my GTB this winter as I did last year. Last winter, the longest the car stayed in my garage was about 2 1/2 weeks after the Presidents' Day storm.

Let me know an you can join up with us. You'll have a chance to see my fiberglass GTB and a gorgeous GTC/4.

Get a battery tender. works great. I use it for my other cars, during the winter. www.batterytender.com

 

Interesting,
I am currently looking to expand my shop to a new building with approx. 16-20 indoor climate controlled spaces for car storage. I had only planned to store race prepared ferraris and other exotics with their equipment, but i did not concider the street cars.

Ben, maybe if all goes well, I can help with your storage needs next year.
The shop is being planned for the Milford Pa. area which is about 6 miles from the Northern NJ and New York borders on interstate 84.

If you can, to help me please let me know what you are looking for in a storage facility, (i.e. insurance coverage, detailing service, pickup and delivery, etc...). any comments are welcome and appreciated.

Best regards, Jim

 

Hi Jim, aah Milford... Rte 650 Sussex NJ over the Milford Bridge is one of my favorite cruise spots. We usually stop in for a bite @ the Apple Valley Restaurant.

 

Lots of great roads to cruise on for sure, rt 6, hawks nest, etc....Best in the fall, love kicking up the leafs..

regards, jim

 

You guys are talking about my neck of the woods. I'm in Warwick, NY. Right on the border with Vernon, NJ. 20 minutes from Milford, PA. If you want to get together for a drive, whatever, give me a shout.

Tom,
Hopefully, If we can stay off this snow

But anytime you guys are ready, I`ll be there.....


best regards, Jim

 

Will do Tom!

 

We don't have any room to store cars just for the sake of storing cars right now and anyway it looks like you found a berth but just "starting your car once a week" is not a good idea. I wrote an article for The Maserati Club a few years ago about storage that you may find informative. It's on our website under TECH TIPS.

Good luck and let's hope for a mild winter, although this weekend looks bad so early in the season.
