Oh man, there is a lot of water in there. If they sealed the car in a waterproof tarp it should be ok, but I see high water marks on the wall there ---

they said the water lines show that water reached well above the roof of the car at one point. its now at the local convention center where Boyd Coddington and crew are working at cleaning it up and actually getting it running for the official reveal to the public. He said hes concerned with all the rust on the bottom of the car. thats the only thing stated so far that gives a clue to the real condition. Still an awesome story though! tonight at 6:30 it will be revealed to the public live online. more info at [www.buriedcar.com](http://www.buriedcar.com) ---

It is now a 50 yr old rusted piece of shit. They should have taken it to the scrap yard initially. It would have cost less. ---
