You've got that right. It still looks in better shape than that 57 chrysler that was sealed away for posterity and opened up a few years back.

I;m actually surprised that it looks a s solid as it does, after siting for god knows how long in salt water! Almost looks like you could cut patch panels off it....Its a shame it got dumped like that.

I'd like to know the story on how it ended up there.Was there alcohol involved, or a "Hey fellas watch this". Did it run when parked?
