    For how long? Drain the fuel or run a fuel stabilizer though it, drain and refill the coolant system with fresh anti freeze, remove the battery, figure out a way to keep mice out/away, bleed the brakes/clutch with new fluid, oil anything that should move, handbrake off. Every few months turn the engine by hand, work the brakes, rotate the wheels. Choose your cover carefully, if it traps moisture it would be worse than no cover

    I'm rebuilding a car that has sat for many years, so the above is from experience of things that would make it easier for the future.
