First of all, put the car up on stands to prevent damage to the tires (flat spots on steel belts).
Depending on how long you are talking about, one thing to think of is that the oil could get contaminated by the gas. Some drain the oil first and others replace the oil before starting after a long period of time sitting.
Cold storage is one more idea, keeping moisture away from your car is a good idea.
Fill your tank up as any empty space in the tank will alow for moisture to collect.
Hey, just some ideas tis' all.
