Took me 6 months to figure out why my Mustang kept getting damp inside storage

I store my 65 Mustang in a concrete garage near Nashville. Every few weeks I'd pop the cover off and the interior felt clammy. Seats would have that cold damp feeling. I blamed the concrete floor (you know, like everyone does). Bought a dehumidifier, ran it constantly, still damp. After about 6 months of frustration I finally noticed the dryer vent from my house was blowing right into the garage through a tiny gap in the foundation. Patched it with some foam sealant and the problem disappeared in a week. Anyone else have a moisture source they overlooked for way too long?

Sealed my crawlspace vents and it made a HUGE difference with the same issue.

Damp interior" sounds like you're storing a priceless artifact, not a car. I've left mine uncovered in a dirt floor barn for years and never noticed any moisture problems.
