Thread: Tulsa Buried Car

Tweet

If they want to check the car out (from the upper level) on the 15 it's $5.

It will be displayed in the invitational car show area on the 16 and 17th for free.

Being that I am not above "borrowing" things from other forums, I thought some of you might not have seen this video. If you have sorry, if you haven't, enjoy.

My understanding is that the person who guessed (in 1957) closest to what the 2007 population of Tulsa would be would win it. If he or she is dead, their heirs get the car.

Yeah, Boyd and crew are going to detail it to clean off 50 years of sitting.

Did you hear about the Yugo that they buried in 1990? They're NEVER going to dig it up!!

Spent the day checking out a few things on the car and everything looks good.

I'm leaving ot Tuesday evening and should be in Stroud OK on Wends and Tulsa on Thursday (the day before the unearthing).

I came across these web sites for watching the unearthing (pulling it out of the ground) and unveiling (displaying the car for the first time) in case anybody want's to watch it on their computor.

unearthing 12 noon (CST) 15 June

Of course I've got to wonder what happens if they open up the vault and only find a big rusty swimming pool with a beer can floating on top

Have a safe trip, Mike. Take lots of pictures and videos for us less fortunates.

Don

Cool. Can't wait to see how it looks.

They opened the vault today early in the AM to make sure they will be able to rig it out on Friday and then got the heavy equipment out of the way and have put up a fence so no one can see in... a friend of mine caught some pictures in the meantime:

Suffice to say the vault did not hold. The car is also coated is cosmoline and wrapped in plastic so who knows.

The earth in that area is red, so the stains are probably from that. The fins, hood, and roof certainly held shape. Its hard to say if the trunk is collapsed or not.

Thought you guys might be interested
