CB1,

I have a short article at MikeInAZ's site about auto storage. I always advocate putting a 9x11 cake pan on the floor of the passenger side footwell to catch the collant that will inevitably leak when teh heater core lets go. This is fairly common with stored vehicles that don't get a lot of summer use and regular cooling system flushes.

Plan on replacing the heater core before you get it out of storage and cleaning up the carpets with lots of hot water and a vet/dry vac on some warm summer day.
