She will be stored inside in a non heated garage but already got her winter blanket to help keep unwanted dust off her.

Unhook the battery for starters. But i would start it every once and a while, not really good for anything to sit too long

You can put it up on jackstands (front and back). I do this with my chevelle just to get all the weight off the suspension parts and tires while its not going to be moving for an extended period of time. no point in wearing out parts just sitting.

I dont think the gas would go bad in a short few months, but maybe get some fuel stabalizer (not exactly sure what its called) just to be safe

give it a good wash and wax before you store is too


Thanks for the tips. How about the oil, should I leave the current one (synthetic) with approximately 3000kms on it and change it when I get her running again or should I store it with clean and fresh oil.
