Re: Daily driver in the garage with your muscle car???
I would keep the Vette away from your daily driver or somehow isolate it. Like Mike said, invest in a dehumidifier and run it.. Thats what I do.. I also have no heat... There is more moisture that thing picks up in the summer than in the winter...

Re: Daily driver in the garage with your muscle car???
Mark, It is very easy to install a 220V heater in your garage. I have an attached garage and my wife shares 1/2 of it. It is 24X24 with an 9' ceiling. My hung from the ceiling heater on low keeps it at 60 even in the dead of winter. Of course it is insulated and drywalled.

Mark...If you have forced air heating system, why don't you pipe a couple of ducts to the garage? That will be plenty of heat to keep things dry. I have 1 duct going to the 2 car house garage where the wife parks. No problems at all with it. Some local laws may need to be circumvented, but it's your house. If you let a car sit ideling for 3 days, you may get some carbom monoxide thru the ductwork. If you are that concerned about CM, put some flapper valves in the ducts.

Re: Daily driver in the garage with your muscle car???
I put my 2000SS in the garage next to my 70 L78 Camaro during the winter. But we don't get much snow, and if it does snow, I have to get home before there is 1/4" on the ground because the 2000SS is not very good in the snow. If it has too much snow on it, I will leave it outside that nigth until the sun can help melt the stuff off. We have a bigger problem with the sudden temperature changes in the winter/spring which can lead to instant condensation. I've seen the L78 completely soaked sitting in the garage when we had a sudden warm up.

Hey Zedder , great looking Vette !Congrats ! I've had a few cars parked over the years next to the wife's daily driver, and have never had any bad experiences. Although out here in Alberta , it's a lot drier and less humid then in Ontario
