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.

or just reply here... thanks

I've got my 79 Z28 sitting in one of those self-storage places. I've got a 10x20 and I'm paying like $75 a month. It's great. Now I don;t have to wash the car once a week to get the junk off of it. You may want to check that out. Often, those places have outside storage too for a fraction of the cost.

I have heard some bad things about most of those places around me though. They seem to get broken into, I know a few people that have had theif stuff sold right out from under them.

Since I would be taking the car off insurance and it wouldn't be registered, I don't really feel safe putting it in one of those places.
