Hi,
Storing:

1. store with fuel tank mostly empty, then fill as soon as you get it out

   of storage

2. jack car up, store on jacks or wood (not brick) blocks under

   the suspension components

3. disconnect battery
4. make sure just before you store it, that you drive it for at least

   15-20 minutes to burn off all the condensation

5. plug the tail pipe to keep out rodents
6. close all windows, top to keep out other critters
7. car cover to keep critters off the paint

Out of storage:

1. change oil&filter
2. fill up with gas
3. enjoy

Dale
