6.0ss Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 I can't imagine it lasting that long, it would have been better off in a garage for that much time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black03zr5 Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 There was a guy who did that with a Corvette. I don't remeber all of the details but I think it was a '53. He was a barber in a small town and had been saving his money for a Corvette since he had heard of one coming out. When one finally did, he picked it up and built a space on the backside of the building for the car, pulled it in and walled it off. A several years later he died and the building was torn down, but they were surprised when they found a corvette inside with like 15 miles on it. Unfortunately the car was destroyed from mold and what not, but it is in the Corvette museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolBlueSS Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 I saw something on this a while back. If it's a sealed capsule, it may not be too bad. Either way it'll be interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwest94 Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 I can't wait to see what that old car looks like when they bring it up out of the ground. No way I am putting my SS in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 I actually heard about that story years ago, I frequent MoPar forums and I'm surprised how many guys DON'T know about it! I'm willing to bet the car is on Ebay within a week of getting "won"...? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 that car is probably a rust bucket by now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wonder if the concrete hasn't already crumpled and crushed the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshift Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 If it had there'd been a sink hole or something... I'd like to see it too when they bring it up. WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
