: VERY LONG! My Tulsa Buried Car Trip.
57plymouth Jun 20th, 07, 9:25 AM I have posted this on Team Camaro, and I though you guys might like it as well. It is too long to post the whole thing here, so here is a link to the whole story of my trip to see the Buried Car in Tulsa.

Just for background, I am a lifelong 57 Plymouth fan, having had the same one in my family since new. There are a lot of pictures at the end, take a few moments to look through them. There are some real good ones, and some real bad ones.
Overall, though the car is in rough shape and I had a hard trip getting there, it was one of the best experiences of my life. Hands down.

BowtieAaron Jun 20th, 07, 10:04 AM very nice.
my friends got a nice car that i think you would enjoy...

straight 8 and 3spd was removed, and a 383 was installed with a hemi crashbox 4spd, and a 70 challenger 8 3/4 rear with 391s, sure grip. early 80's diplomat disk brakes.
body is all origional and mint, and so is interior.

57plymouth Jun 20th, 07, 10:31 PM That picture made the whole trip worth it.
Thanks for the kind words guys. I am told that my shots are some of the best and most detailed online right now. Especially the interior shots.
I'm still on a high from the trip.

Thats what I was hoping to see to. Some good interior shots. And you got them.:)
It didnt supprise me to see that the seats pretty much rotted away to nothing but springs hanging out. Im not sure if thats some of this so called "protectant" on the underside and the rest of the car or if that is just how bad the rust is. Its as if its a mold that grew on the chassis and other parts.
BowtieAaron Jun 21st, 07, 9:55 AM no Brent owns the pacer. them two are both neighors.
them two cars together look like long lost brothers finally reunited. lol.
