I remember when this was done. My dad took us down to watch it be lowered into the hole. The car was on display at the dodge dealer for a while and we went down and looked at it before it was sealed up.

I am afraid that it will be a rust bucket after all these years. it was sealed with tar as I recall and Tulsa has a high ground water problem around most of the city. There is a layer of Murphy Clay about 6 to 7 feet down in most areas of the city. Water will travel sideways instead of flowing through it. If they dug it into that then it would be like burying it in a empty swimming pool.

I think my dad was in the lottery for the car but I am not sure. I was about 12 then.

Pantera,I was thinking the same thing.Open up the hole and find a pile of rust.Idont think you could seal up a cement vault to keep it dry inside.Even the humidity from the day they put it in the ground would eat it up you would think?Wouldn't it be cool if it was as nice as the day they put it in there?Hope someone gets a piece of history.Just my thoughts.

Maybe there is a time vault somewhere in New Jersey with Jimmy Hoffa in it!

A friend of mine uncovered a '53 Eldorado convertable several years ago that was covered in cosmoline and then wrapped completely in a plastic tarp cacoon outside in a field--in late '50s--When they found the car they had to cut down trees to get it out---The leather seats and top had deteriorated somewhat--but the rest car was perfectly preserved---CAR has 3,000 mi.---

That car would have been better off dropped to the bottom of lake Superior. It will be interesting to see some pictures of it.
