:eek: What was the car buried in, a lake of sulfur?

That is certainly a lot of rust, makes it almost indistinguishable...

Future ebay ad ---

1957 Plymouth. Low miles. One owner. Garage stored. Original parts, paint, engine.

looks like it was a nice car at one time, too bad some douchebag decided to bury it and ruin it.

It wasn't some douchebag...


The city of Tulsa, OK did for their 50th anniversary so it could be dug up on their 100th.

World's King has it close to right. It was done by the City of Tulsa, but it was to commemorate the 50th and 100th Anniversary of Statehood for the State of Oklahoma. Tulsa is quite a bit older.

Interesting. I caught this before they dug it up. Seems to me that they actually took some precautions before burying it. I'm surprised (well, not really) that it came out in such poor shape.

So much for being collectible....

Just ruins the whole time capsule thing for me. Wonder what the contents of the whole thing would be worth. Value of car near Zero.................

Psycho Dad 06-17-2007 06:15 PM

The time capsule made it out in good shape. The car not so much. Tulsa is not too far from me, and if I had the time, I would have gone to see this. I would have been disappointed though.

It was a shame this didn't pan out as they had wished 50 years ago.

Was it a red Fury?

That homicidal car from Christine?

Whoever did that to that poor car should be tied up, tarred, feathered and put in the town square for a week. By then I should be able to get there with a trunk load of steaming rotten tomatoes soaked in fecal matter. :(

douchebags, then?

The shelter the car was in was designed to withstand a nuclear attack. Water leakage, however, was a different matter. Shame, would've been a nice car.

Well they've done it again. The same city buried a Prowler in 1998 that they'll dig up in 2048. They are also planning another capsule with a large item, though no telling what that could turn out to be, to be buried in November.

So will those tomatoes be well enough fermented by 2057?

Bit of T-Cut will sort that paint out :)

Is is just me...? I'm thinking that if the shelter leaks water, it wouldn't be much protection from nuclear radiation.
