How long can you store your 8?

Hey guys and gals,

I store my 8 in the winter, and upon storing it I disconnect the battery, pump up the tires to approximately 40 psi and put fuel stabilizer in the gas tank (which is 3/4 filled), however, I was wondering how long can I safely store it without driving it. I do have a second car, and I was thinking of pulling my 8 out late summer after doing some mods to it, but it would have been stored approximately 8 - 9 months by then and I dunno if storing it for that long without driving it is good for that car?

If that's the case, I'll pull her out and have both cars on the road. I just wanted to store her till late summer as I wanted to only pay full insurance once she was ready to go on the road.

Thanks,

Ben.
