Don't do it. A '74 and an '80's Carrera are two TOTALLY different animals. Any pre '76 is going to have the potential for corrosion damage, IMO. Especially since you used the descriptor Pristine.

Rent a storage unit for $100 a month. Don't leave an older Porsche outside. The under side will go to hell quickly.

you could try a tent type of cover I have not got one but the three ledaers from friends exp. are the CARCOON AIRCHAMBER & AUTOPOD.... see

As other posts have said even in dry garage enviroment older (non galvanized) cars will suffer from rust even from humidity - protect it - but use it and love it - My car is used reg. but lives in climate controlled de-humid garage... but I want it for the rest of my life & then my sons.
