Looking for car storage ... help

Here is my situation:

My 84 trans am is starting to fall apart, interior and body only, it's running great. There is some significant rust, that I didn't catch in time. Both fenders are trash, and so is the front clip. The T-Tops leak pretty bad, and all the seats are starting to deteriorate.

I want to get a newer one (85-87) perferably and put all my good parts into it. (engine, trans, rear, suspension, stereo, etc)

So my grandpop is giving me his 92-96(cant remember) toyota corrola wagon.
I don't have room to park both of the cars, and I cant afford insurance on both either. So I need to find a place to keep my trans am, while I look for a newer body to transplant all my stuff into.

I am located in South Jersey. Galloway/Absecon/Pomona area.
If you have a place I could store my car please let me know.
Closer is better for obvious reasons. I can pay you a monthly fee if needed. Not sure how much I can afford yet, but that can be worked out. Hopefully for no longer than 6 months, but it depends on how the search for a new car goes, and how much I have to save to get it.

Well If you have a parking lot close to you you could keep it there. Or friends driveway or something? But I got same deal. If I get a car (that doesnt have plates)I gotta stick it in the lot next door and stuff always ends up getting stolen with it not on the street. Also If you know anyone with an extra set of plates like maybe old retired plates not in use. You could stick em on it and plant it on the street.

Not a good idea leaving it in a parking lot or out on the street. In Jersey if someone calls saying the car is abandoned and the cop runs the plates, the cop can impound it for fictitious plates. If you have a driveway or a friend will let you park it in his driveway then its private property and the cop cannot do anything to it. Just don't leave a car on the street unless the plates matchup to the car.

ya. Its the same way probably in RI. But cops dont really check random cars with plates unless your of course driving it. Or its got a flat tire or something obvious.
