I suppose you could fog the cylinders and put the frame up on blocks. That would not keep the tires from rotting or keep the grease in the linkages from drying out or the gas from stagnating in the lines and tank. I don't know if fuel stabilizer would work that long either.

Probably the best way to save it for the future is to run it once a month when the weather is dry and sunny. Change the oil at least once a year and the antifreeze every two years. That way it lubricates all the seals and keeps the various items moving in the seals. Park it in a dry garage when not in use.

When my FIL died my MIL would not let anyone touch his car for three years. She even left his kandkercheif sitting on the front seat right where he left it when he died. After about three years she suddenly had a change of mind and wanted to get rid of it. A death of a loved one, especially a spouse, really hits a lot harder than we sometimes realize.
