make sure the tank is full..
start it once a week, let it idle a while..
roll it a foot while you're at it if you can to avoid flat spots..

oil change once before you store it... have it on crappy tires and useless steelies.... have the tank full... run it a few mins once a week to keep things working.... leave the handbrake down (my friend had his e-brake up and the brake went deadlocked)... clean it often so no lil spiders hides in your car hahaha....... let see.... i think that's all from what i know that are common
