They are pretty durable, keep the car dry and don?t cover it with disintegrating-cover-dust like the Evolution 4 and Noah covers. As I mentioned in the other post, they are not sold direct by Covercraft. They list a number of vendors on their website; all of those I checked seemed to have the same prices. Over the years, I have bought several from Big Sky Covers and have been happy dealing with them: http://216.60.144.111/ecatcust/getx.asp?x=1 &vid=707656539588 Note that they are not cheap - $300-400, but they last 4-5 years or more.

I drive my '72 CS only about every month or so, but the battery stays up pretty well. Of course, my clock is the only thing drawing any power -- perhaps you have other drains. A battery tender is the usual solution for this. Google it. Gasoline will degrade after several months, so you may want to add a product such as Stabil to the tank. You may need to change your oil based on time rather than mileage. I put about 1000 miles/year on mine, but I change the oil and brake fluid every 2 years. Keep the mice out of your tailpipe and wiring and you should be fine. Driving it regularly, getting it completely warmed up, is good therapy -- for the car and for you.

For me it helps for other coupistas to?pipe up if they have substantial experience with?know purveyors of "our type of stuff" ... that way we?can use the net to?pass around more than just political beliefs?or kill time and benefit from each others experiences. ?And for our hobby the BANE of the internet is the glut of folks looking to make a quick buck here, combined with in inexperienced potential market that is readily taken in by the quick fix of change, or a new "project"...or easy money. Our hobby used to take work, work to prepare a car, learn how to do it, find other like minded car folks, convince our insurers our cars?needed collision insurance, etc etc etc. Flipping a credit card or even the hard work of writing a check is no substitute, and if the recent economic adjustment is good for any of us, it should be good to remind?us that "value spirals" can take the joy out of a hobby, and always seem to come with a price far bigger than the coin we used to get for honest labor.???
