I am looking to store my mustangs for the winter pretty soon.
Is there any good advice I should know that would be helpful.

I would put the car up on stands (put the stands under the suspension so it does not hang ) and put a decent car cover on it, even if it is in a garage. Also un-hook your battery and maybe even remove the belt to prevent a flat spot. Then start it up and let it warm up once a month to keep the gaskets from drying up.
Thats what I do anyways
