I am also afraid it will be a pile rust
after looking at the vidio the walls on the cement vault
walls are not that thick
cant wate to see the out come

Hving lived in Oklahoma most of my life, all I can think is:

OMG, of all the cool cars to pick from in 57, you dumb okies tried to preserver a Plymouth Belvedere????????

57 Bel Air
57 Corvette
57 Bonneville
and my favorite, 57 Eldo.
Even a 57 Ford would be better.

Oh well, to each his own.

Yeay, that 50 year old gas will be great. Better call in the EPA with some superfund money to clean that mess up.

Of course the Mopar gu

What a Naive era in comparison to today.............!

[Canuck]

So 50 years later Plymouth Division is dead but some of their cars are now the most valuble on the planet!!
The gas stinks,but it is unleaded-now that is rare!!
The $100 savings account-The S&L went bust,but the account if found could be worth $1200-alot less than the EPA would charge for the environmental cleanup.
The $2.43 cents-worth $2.43.
They should have burried some Elvis records as well-that would be worth something.

As to the condition of the car-what has been the flood situation in Tulsa in the last 48 years?

[Pantera]

The courthouse area has not flooded or even had a close call.

Ok, if it was done today what car would you pick and what else would you include in the tomb?

Do we have to pick a current year vehicle or can we choose someone's ZL1? . And do ex-wives count as other things to include in the tomb?

Too bad these guys didn't wait 10 more years and bury a '67 Belvedere?

That gas....hahaha, can you smell the can from here or what? ~ Pete

This is easy for me. It is easy to say an Enzo, or some such exotic, but it really should be something a little more attainable.

I would vote a 2006 Z06. No question about it. What a car for the money. What a car, period. Faster to 60 than a $150k twin turbo Porsche.
