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...

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.

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.
