What was the longest timeframe you've ever had your f-body sit (without starting it, turning it over or moving it) and what problems did you experience when you tried to start/move it after that timeframe?

I personally hate starting car just to here them run. Nov to april for my car. Rehooked the battery and she started right up. My issue would be the fuel going bad. Everything else can be lubed so it doenst rust. Fuel system would need to be drained. All lines blown out and maybe remove the injectors to make sure you have all fuel out of it. Fog the motor and your done. If were talking a bunch of yr's I might consider filling the motor way over-fill, but that brings its own set of issue's.
