ScarredKnightfan Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Might help to know in which part of northern IL you are looking & how far you are willing to travel. Hermann's storage in Hampshire IL is a fairly good place. Cort > www.oldcarsstronghearts.com pigValve.paceMaker.cowValve | 79 CC to ?? Mercury Grand Marquis!!

John_S_in_Penna Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Do you know any widows or other older single people? One of our members rents the spare bay of a 2-car garage from an elderly neighbor for $25 a month. Another method: I worked out an arrangement with a local business that had unused warehouse space. Now, several of our club members rent space in the warehouse for a reasonable price, benefiting the business and the car owners. Of course, ads in your local newspaper, "shopper" paper, or local electric Craig's List are good sources. Consider placing a want-ad in one of those places. You may reach a lot more local people there than on our world-wide AACA Forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I had a complete 1933 Essex-Terraplane 8 chassis back when Driving Miss Daisy was playing at the movies. It was going to become my Railton knock off. Mr. Bell, the owner of Miss Daisy's Hudson owned a Railton and offered to let me make a pattern. Something happened and I considered long term storage. That was when I realized that if it ever left my garage it wouldn't come back. I sold it and moved on to the happy life with too many cars I experience today. Long term storage is a crumby option.

Jon37 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 If you get up against the wall and run out of time, certain u-store-it places will rent you a 10 x 20 space. Not ideal (you can barely get into your car) but will at least get your car under cover until you find more permanent storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I keep a two cars in a 40 Ft shipping container for winter storage. Works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that rules out Hampshire. BUT, I know the greater Geneva-St Charles area has quite a few self-storage places that would work, at least temporarily while you locate a more permanent solution. Sorry I wasn't able to help more.

John_S_in_Penna Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Here in Pennsylvania, the self-storage complexes are considerably more expensive than finding a garage space to rent-- $100 or $125 per month, versus $50 to $75. But they could suffice until you found a space for the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MOPARNUT Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Thank you all so much for the responses I do really appreciate them. I have come to a very hard and very sad decision as I am going to be selling the 68 Barracuda Edited April 28, 2016 by MOPARNUT (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
