I just bought another 73 Eldo convert that is not nice enough to displace another car indoors or pay to store somewhere else so it looks like its going to sit next to the other 73 eldo convert I bought next to the barn.  The last one I bought has been outside for the last 10 years and is rusty an moldy so another year or two is not a big deal but the new one has a good top decent paint and some good interior parts.  I could prob find some indoor storage place for a few hundered dollars for the season but dont really want to put that much into it. Among other issues it doesnt run at the monent so its a pain to move. I was wondering if a tarp would help or hurt things?  I live in MN where we are supposed to get lots of snow.

I have a indoor/outdoor cover for my good car that is in the barn but IIRC it was over $200 and this new car I dont think is worth that unless you guys think its the only way.

Thoughts?  Ideas?

Thanks!

Hi
Too bad you did not get a reply on your request.
But do you happen to know what the best car covers are?

Go to California Car Cover.  http://www.calcarcover.com/  They have a number of good car covers made to fit your car.  I’ve had good service from them. 

If you decide to use a tarp don’t take it all the way to the ground.  Leave some space for air flow.  If it goes all the way to the ground it will hold in moisture and promote mold, and mildew.
