Tulsa Buried Car Already Opened

You're killing me Gotgas!

Check out what all comes up when you type in Christine in Google images. I didn't know it was such a popular name for trampy girls... God bless them all.

 

boyds tryin ta find a way to skip out on this one too much negativity...hahahhahaha have you seen his show...lololololol

 

i cant remember... what year did hoffa disapear???
ha
tk

 

Early 70's i think 72, 73 or 4 maybe im not that sure

 

Well they probably had to start uncovering the car early because I'm sure it has taken more than 1 day to get the work done. If it has had water that high the motor is going to be junk and the interior will be trashed too. I heard a story the other day about how they rushed the 57 from dvelopmental stage to production without any testing and in the rain it leaked like crazy around doors and windshield. Can't imagine how it would hold up acting as as submarine.

 

I just decided to be cremated.

 

from what ive read they sealed the car in a almost everything proof blanket so if that has held it might still be good underneath

 

Funny...........morbid but funny!

 

So remember kids, next time you want to bury a car.....

 

What a waste of a good grave !

 

makes me wonder if tulsa got it right the second time around..... 1998 we buried a '98 plymouth prowler to be opened in 2048.

 

Hey Fellas, nothing a nice, shiny new set of Boyd's wheels wouldn't fix!

 

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

 

From all the threads I've read on it here, maybe the vault was filled with white vinegar

 

Actually a car won't rust too bad if its completly submerged, but who knows what this has been through.

Still...it isn't like they couldn't just dump a quarter of the money raised into an restoration...anything can be saved, haha.

 

Somebody call Barry White. It'll make a good episode of "Wrecks to Riches". Just tell him there's some obscure auction on Friday and he'll get it fixed up in time. Mike

 

You have to remember that we are working with city employees and officials with regard to the timeframe of removal. We're lucky its getting done in only 2 days! If it were a city street or highway, they'd NEVER get it done!

Overall, from what can be seen from the pictures of the wrapped car, the roof is intact as are the front fenders and rear fins. How well intact they are, we won't know until it is pulled out and unwrapped.

 

yeah, an everything proof blanket,
manufactured with "cutting edge technology"

in 1957

in Oklahoma


this ain't looking good

 

Well, at least we now have a boilerplate answer to the ubiquitous "How do I achieve patina?" posts.

 

I cant believe they didnt have some way to monitor the water level in the vault. Should have left it above ground. On well, hind site is 20 20.

 

Now that is funny.

P.

 

well atleast it was not a 32 ford!

 

Hey, that probably would have faired the hibernation better than the Plymouth!

 

this will a good typical rat rod .

 

They said they covered it with cosmoline also. Pending on how much and where they put it, it could be nice. Very doubtful but you never know. Can't wait to see it.

 

You cant polish a turd....................

 

According to Crab on the other thread, one of the fins ripped through the "blanket", therefore I don't think it held......well maybe just water.

 

Never seen a two-ton metal sponge before.

isn't that why Boyd is going?

oh wait,i got it backwards.
his cars end up as turds

 

Not all water is bad...just the oxygen rich stuff.
Ask these Russian armored history buffs....

This just amazes me!!!!
