I hear they buried it with a couple gallons of gas just in case 50 years later gasoline was obsolete........gesus, did they really think gasoline would last 50 years without stabilizer in it? These days, we're lucky if it lasts 6 months without going stale. Could be good advertising material for sta-bil fuel mix! lol  |

The car is beyond restoring, the winner should take the car apart and sell each part, could raise some money for some Charity
