if you own an older corvette, even if you generally park it in a garage, chances are fairly good that you've purchased a car cover.
I know from experience quality varies WILDLY and so does the material and fit, of the cover, most of the better covers cost at least $160-$200
and if properly used they do help retain the finish on the car and reduce the wiring tendency to get corrosion damage as better covers shed moisture.
obviously you need to try to keep the car in a semi cool and dry environment, with decent air flow around the car, to prevent mold & mildew from slowly forming, and protected the cars interior and wiring from critters like mice!
throw a few glue traps with a few bits of dry dog food on them around the shop tends to limit the pests

if you build the tire support stacks like shown , measure the distance under the tires when you use YOUR FLOOR JACK, or you may find you built the support stacks too tall to insert under the tires
and if your not going to drive the cart putting it up on jack stands just high enough to relieve about 1/2 the suspension travel distance won.t hurt, and you certainly want to store the car with a fresh oil change and battery trickle charger

Ways To Prevent Infestation
Try to park away from trash bins and natural food sources. Use sealed garages to store your vehicle and keep your doors closed. Look for gaps in your vehicle and try to seal them. Weatherstrips can be installed on the underside of vehicle doors.
