With a tarp or a cheap cover perhaps. A California car cover has proven itself years over.

any cover outside will wear the paint off, allow water under.

I bought the Ironshield cover from Carscover for my '78 NY'er and I'm totally satisfied with it. It fits very well, has a felt under side and allows zero water in and has a vent on the windshield and rear window that allows heat to escape. It's great for the winter too. I'll post a picture later this week.

Hmmmm...I've used my Extreme Weave California Car Cover outdoors for the past 5 years on both my '65 300 'vert and my '64 GTO. The paint is still on both cars and the cover is 98% water proof. A small amount of water gets past the seams but it evaporates once the sun comes out. The cover is very breathable and hasn't harmed the paint whatsoever.

I really doubt companies would sell covers for use outdoors if they caused the paint to wear off.

Check out the Ironshield at carscover. It has a very good description and pictures. Fits like a glove and reasonably priced.
