Yep. Mine stays in a sealed, moisture controlled, bag from Thanksgiving to Easter. Once a month or so I will roll it forward, or back, a few inches in the bag even with the steel belted radials (I do put an extra ten pounds of air in the tires). The car comes out in the spring just like it went in during the late fall. The battery is disconnected via a quick switch, a bottle of StaBil is in the full tank of gas, and it fires right up.
