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?

Mine has been sitting on jack stands in my garage since Oct/Nov 06. I busted an axle and am just now getting around to fixing it. I've started it every now and then and let the motor warm up.
