No stairs, but a pitched garage floor:

I built this house with a unique garage set up.  It has an end of house
approach, 3 car 36' wide X 26' deep attached garage with a 10' door and an
18' foot door.  The garage floor level is 4.5' lower than the 1st floor  -
floor level and 5' higher than the basement floor level.  The 10' door
stall floor is a 26' long pitched from the from garage door to the basement
floor level.  At the end of the "ramp" as I call it is another 10' door
separating the garage from the work shop (15 X 45).  The building
department required the shop floor to be  6" lower than the other regular
side basement floor acting as a gas fume curb.  A lot of friend's refer to
it as the "bat cave".  Because the ramp is at a 5' pitch over 26' you can
easily park a car on this incline as well.   I copied this idea from my dad
who is a builder and has the same set up with a 4 car garage and 3 cars in
his basement.

Ok, I don't see a problem with putting your '66 in the basement, but how in
the world do you plan to carry it down the stairs?
