Well, it will be almost 40 tomorrow. I was planning for end of October and pull the drivetrain out. I want to upgrade the heads/cam on the 302 and clean things up after 5 years.

Hi Steve, end of October to mid November. I'm planning on doing the same. Engine bay needs a good detailing with the motor out.

Question. Do you guys change the oil prior to storage or after?

Unless the oil is due for a change, I was told to change it in the spring after storage.

Mine gets put away when they start with the salt.

Usually put mine away in November.....pending the weather situation.

As for the oil change, I use synthetic 5W-50 in mine and change it once a season. I don't put much mileage on the car and the oil analysis tests show its fine.

Insurance comes of my 08 October 1st. Personally I prefer to do an oil change before storage.

Weather will dictate when Orange Fury takes her nap.

This is how I store mine, everyone has a slightly different ritual but this is what I do.

- If the oil is due for a change, change it. If its got under 3000kms or 8 months on it I wait till spring
- Drive the car to my nearest gas station, full tank of fuel and the proper amount of stabilizer in the tank and drive home
- Give the car and through cleaning in and out, making sure to clean the underside and wheel wells as best I can
- Full interior vacuum and remove everything from interior and trunk
- Lube all the seals and weather stripping up
- Check all my tires and pump them all up about 4psi over where I normally would run them
- Drive it in my garage which I've covered the floor with poly vapour barrier and 1" foam pads under each wheel
- Park it with the ebrake off and wheels chocked
- I leave my windows down just a crack and my convertible top down but not latched so I don't flatted the seals
- Bounce sheets in the interior to keep any critters away and keep interior smelling fresh
- Steel wool in the tail pipes to keep any critters out
- Pull the cover over it
- Don't start it or touch it until spring

In the spring when I go to take it out I undo the last few steps, pull the fuel pump fuse and crank it for 15 seconds to build oil pressure then start it and let it idle. Drive it slowly and gingerly to burn off the stabilized fuel, put in new premium and change the oil, start rippin.

Store mine at first Snowflake. I put down tarp, (don’t have to now because of epoxy floor finish) and put carpet under all wheels and cover. Clean and do oil change prior to storing. Also put battery tender on it. Oh ya...forgot stabilizer and Shell premium fuel.

Dude your intense. I was going to just cover the floor with cardboard and jack the car on stands and let the suspension hang. Put 94 with stabilizer clean inside and out put battery and cover. Also would you recommend paint correction now or spring ?

I've never been accused of not being intense so ya, accurate.

If you were going to do a full paint correct I'd wait till spring just in case the cover scuffs it or something bumps it in the winter. Also I'd go buy a roll of cheap poly vapour barrier over cardboard. Cardboard will still suck up moisture which is what you're try to prevent. Also I personally think jackstands is worse than leaving on wheels having the weight hang on all your suspension components unless you put stands under control arms/rear axle.

I let the weather tell me when.

I see lots of good advice above. I remove the battery, put it in the basement on a trickle charger. Other than that, stabilizer with a full tank, tires over inflated and on foam.

I am stealing the bounce sheets idea for sure!!!

Dunno why, in my head cars and their suspension components are designed to live their life 365/24/7 with 4 wheels on the ground (excluding Raptors). Figure having the suspension at max droop with it bearing on the bump stops and other components living at geometry they were designed to live at for extended periods.

Modern tires don’t get flat spots like older ones do, and yes, hanging your suspension is bad for all the bushings (since they’re now at the opposite end of the natural seated position) as well you’re now exposing the strut shafts to moisture and dirt since they’re extended and not safe and sound in the strut/shock housing. I have never raised my pressures or added foam or anything below my tires and they have never had flat spots. As well do not put cardboard under the car, as stated it will absorb moisture and take longer to dry out, thereby exposing the underside of the car to excess moisture. Use a tarp or vapour barrier under the car, if anything (I use nothing)

Factory paint. Competition Orange. Only available in 2004 on the Mach 1. I believe Cobras and regular mustangs were also available in that colour in 2004.

Fuel Stab / SeaFoam should be added to your last tank of fuel and driven at least a few miles to be sure it's through everything from stem to stern.
Pump the tires up to 40psi to cut down on flat spotting (my Nitto's take at least 15 or 20 minutes driving to settle down each and every spring, have since new / Impala does the same on BFG).
If oil is in good shape, no need to dump.
Disconnect your battery, if critters get in and chew wires, cuts down on possibility of a fire.
If possible, remove battery and store hooked to a tender.
Search every nook n cranny for even the tiniest bit of food or wrapper etc that will attract unwanted winter squatters.
Once shut off for the season, leave until next spring, don't start over the winter.

How do you guys find the summer tires in the colder weather. They are as hard as rock when it gets down into the mid single digits. And if it’s wet the traction suffers big time, I find. I also have read about actual possible cracking when using them below 7C.
Do you all run on your summers until you store the car.

Have to be extra careful now that the temps are dropping. Trying to pass someone quickly now requires some restraint...otherwise the rear end gets loose on my Shelby. The same tires in the summer warmth were good and grippy.

Some performance tires will even suggest storing the tires in a temperature controlled environment....to avoid cracking/deterioration in the freezing temps. Found that out on my 12 Boss 302 Pirelli P-Zero's....when I read up on them. I had no idea.....and left them on when I stored the car. Ended up replacing them early, despite still having a fair amount of tread, I wasn't willing to roll the dice when I did a Lapping day @ Mosport.

Yah, I believe it applies to most of the High Performance Summer rubber. Incidentally, I replaced my Pirelli's with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports.....they were a great tire! Did one lapping day with them and they performed very well. I sold the car not tool long after, so not sure how they held up longer term, but most reviews I've read have been excellent.

Mine will be road insured until mid-November. But not driven much between now and then. Insurance goes back on in mid-February, but again not really likely to drive it much before early March.

There’s a certain guy that busts my b@lls over not storing it until ‘May’. Personality, I think that’s a waste. You gotta drive and enjoy your car!

I took the Mustang to the gym this morning, filled up the tank afterwards and gave it a bath and tire fill. Re-org'd the garage so the winter power tools are now accessible behind the Mustang and tossed it on the foam blocks and under the cover. Figure go out on a high note but if next weekend is gonna be 60s and sunny again i might have to try and sneak it out again.

Last night I dumped a can of SeaFoam in the Ol Paint’s tank and added about $20 of Ultra94. Drove to the touchless car wash and gave him a quick bath, then drove around a little bit to get the SeaFoam through the fuel system. Tomorrow I’ll hook up the Battery Tender and cover him up for the winter. Next spring it’s off to see Dr. ZR for a few updates including a new one-piece aluminum driveshaft, new dampers, oil cooler, and mufflers.

Put my GT 350 and my wife’s SLK350 to bed this afternoon
Vacuumed both cars, pumped up the tires to 40 psi and removed the batteries, thinking of placing some 3” rigid insulation under the tires to avoid flat spotting.
My car didn’t come with a cover but I hope you pick up an oem GT350 cover soon.

You know it’s harder to sit in it during the “offseason “ with the cover on it, besides make it easier on yourself; its enclosed anyways.

The finishing touches
Placed some 2” rigid insulation under the tires and put the cover on
Have the heater at 10 degrees so she should stay warm thru the winter.

The Cobra police know your address now. They are on their way to repossess your car and punish you for snake abuse.

Porcelain tiles... Jack's and jack stand do nothing to the floor, in fact the floor can take more abuse than bare concrete.
