My ‘83SC. I pump up the tires a few more pounds, park it on ‘tire cradles’, remove the battery, cover it and store it in a ‘car jacket’ storage bag with desiccant inside the bag.
Been doing this for many years, never any rotor rust or critters.

You're a hell of a lot more anal than I am. Do you drive it, or just look at it?

Yeah, I guess I’m a bit anal but I do drive it although the older it gets (and I), the more protective I’ve become. |

How about doors on first "click" aka slightly open to allow rubber seals to expand / reshape. Just pull bulbs to avoid battery drain.
Damp Rid, one in interior and one in frunk but it only comes into play with the wide temp swings of New England's Fall & Spring. |

Ah, yes, forgot to mention that one. I also close the doors and lids 1 click to not compress the seals all winter.

Winter Storage options - jack stands or in the garage as normal
So I ended up getting some tire savers and jacking the car up and sliding them under. Last week here in NJ it was warmer and actually raining and had some wide temp fluctuations (60F down to 20F) so I went to check on the car. Garage was at 99% humidity and the car cover was damp, and condensation formed on the outside of the doors.
I took the car cover off and hung it up in the garage to dry out for a few days. I wiped all the condensation off the car and went on Amazon and purchased four large desiccant packets. I checked inside the car and there was no signs of anything being overly humidified inside, there was no condensation, and everything appeared to be perfect. After two days, once the car cover was dry I draped it back over the car and threw the desiccant packets inside, along with a temp/humidity meter on the dash. It’s currently sitting at 50% now and about 23F. I will periodically check it over the course of the winter. My gable exhaust fan over the loft of the garage is on so there’s constant air movement. The battery is on its last leg, being from 2016, it still holds to charge perfectly normal when it’s warm out, but obviously when it’s cold, it drains. So it’s sitting on a battery tender over the course of the winter in the car and come the spring, I will get a new battery for the car.    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With all that moisture, You must have some serious rotor rust in the spring.
