I'd probly just level the ground and throw some 18" x 18" pavers on top.

Perhaps with a carburetor and petcock valve... there would be a smell of fuel. But fuel injected setups shouldn't really smell of fuel. And you certainly shouldn't be able to smell oil, unless something's majorly wrong.
That doesn't come with a "door" to cover that open hole?? I guess just hanging up a tarp right there wouldn't be so bad. Will definitely need to consider this one, but I feel like theft is still an issue with this option.

The rain water splashing up from the ground will work on it after a while. If it's elevated higher and you have a ramp going up into it to then it may reduce the risk. Also, the facing surfaces will be OK for a while. . .if well painted. . .but they will start to shed little potato chip type fragments . . .especially on the sunny sides. Not the end of the world. . .just keep up on the paint maintenance. . .get it well soaked into the nooks and crannies. There are more expensive type "junk wood" sheets that are supposedly waterproof that are used in lieu of plywood for roofing due to their reduced risk of warping but I don't have any experience with those yet. Just something to be aware of. Use pressure treated on the sills. . ..
And that's pretty much why I'm leaning toward plastic if I don't leave it in the house... They're much more expensive, but they should be fairly easy to put up and even take down if I move....
