This rumor has been circulated
before. I believe a great deal of this misunderstanding stems from some
site preparation last year. Several large slabs of stone were removed
from the area above the vault, so ground-penetrating radar could locate the
precise location of the car for unearthing this June.

Subject: [FWDLK] --TULSAI COULD BE
WRONG----BUT---------
Thank you to the 6 different guys who contacted me to find out if I am
going to Tulsa to see the unearthing of the 57 Plymouth? I am not going
to Tulsa because I was told by a friend of mine
that lives in the Tulsa
area that the car was already dug up and sent out to be cleaned up and who
know what else they did to it. He said the official unveiling of it was
strictly a money making deal by the city that is being exploited to the
limit of acceptance. He said a lot of people seeing the unveiling which they
bought tickets for, will think that the Plymouth
looks the same way it came out of the capsule.
My friend also told me that there is talk of releasing a video later,
after everyone has Traveled to Tulsa and
poured much money into the city's economy. The official video that
will not be cheap will show the car as it was when they unearthed it from the
capsule. It may then show it being cleaned up, and being set up for the
official unveiling before the public at the buy a ticket event. They feel
most all the people that attend will feel that they should buy the video
since they spent so much to be in Tulsa
and many more people who were not at the unveiling will also buy the
video since they were not there.
Now the following is my personal opinion: I am waiting for the video,
which will show everything from the very start to the
finish, with the official unveiling, and I intend to watch it on my
60 inch high definition TV with my chair real close to the screen
while eating a pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms on it and a cold bottle
of my favorite soda. That way I will think I am right there with you
guys, in spirit if not in body.
Maybe this is true, but I only have my friend's information to back it up
and he is not a real close friend and I did not witness these things
personally. If I am wrong I am sure everybody will let me know I was wrong!!!!
LOL
For all you guys and
gals going to Tulsa all I can say is " Be careful, have fun, and take
lots of photos and keep your eyes open for a unauthorized bootleg amateur
video that may also be sold in the area very quietly."
