Thread: Tulsa Buried Car

Tweet

The car show today was great. One guy said he counted 32 57 Plymouths (plus aobut 5 in the indoor show ( and probably 3 on the row outside the convention center. That should make about 40 but I think the count should have been 39 1/2.

I'd been talking to the owner of this all weekend and didn;t know it was his until the show today (we had also discussed the engines a few time on the Plymouth Forum).

It now has an 80" wheel base weights 3000 Lbs and is powered by an aluminum head 11:1 compression 392 Hemi, has a 4 speed and 3.91 Posi.

He built it in the early-mid 70's (and mentions he doesn't drive it as hard as he used to

Then there was the row (probably close to 20 56-58 Fury's from the Golden Fin Society.

The orange 57 Belvedere (4dr HT) was really neat, front clip and a Corvette LS1. I've been talking to the owner for a couple of years he completed it enough and in time to drive to Tulsa from LA with only about 250 test dive miles. I'm not usually one for cross breed swaps, but the workmanship was absoutly first rate.

We'll be heading out for Illinois to see family tomorrow moring and will keep you posted

that sure is a shame, makes you wonder if the cell filled with water within the 1st year, probably so. i bet with all the hype behind this now, it would fetch a million bucks on e-bay just as it sits. it is probably worth more in its present condition then if it were restored from its rusted form.

Just me personally, but I like the dug up car in Tulsa been than the 1/2 red 57 ......
