I stored a Merceces Benz for 3 1/2 years and had nothing but trouble with it after retreiving it. Electrical problems, engine problems etc. At least a Porsche is air cooled. Over time, antifreeze and dissimiliar metals found in the radiator begin to break down. Lesson learned: Unless your car means that much to you, I would sell it and get something else upon return. That said, do what the posters have recommended especially! get rid of ALL the gas. I had to replace my fuel pump and filter since they gummed up with the tiny bit of gas I had left in the tank. Pickle the engine. Fill it full of oil or some type of oil, Marvel Mystery or something. Depress your clutch pedal so that it does not leave an indent on the clutch plate. Upon return, you will need to replace all your fluids mainly brake fluid. If you can seal the car, all the better. No matter what you do without sealing it, dust will be big. Your rubber components will probably be dry. Higher end cars, such as Porsche, have good rubber but long term storage won't help. Stuff won't break right away. It just keeps coming back to haunt.
