Re: Buried Plymouth

[John Mopar <dodgepolara500@xxxxxxxxx>]

That is the best team to do it if you do restore it. I think they should just leave it as is and not restore it. 

I also wonder what the car would have looked like if they simply rolled into a regular garage or warehouse, put it on jacks, empty the fuel tank and threw a cover on it. Padlock the door and come back in 50 years. I bet it would have been pristine! 

If they have just tarred the outside of the vault is was in, that would have kept a lot of the water out as well.
I read an article where they said that it had lawn over it and they would water it every day. I bet a lot of the water came from the sprinklers!

I have never cared for anything Boyd has done.  I guess its because I hate 
the big modern wheels and all on the 60's Mopars.  I like them to look more 
factory original.  Should have got Moshers to do it.  Ron
