Ok, I hate to add fuel to the fire here, BUT, I smell a BIG rat!!

There is no way a Mopar would survive with that little rust. I think they swapped out the car with a much nicer example. Must have been Boyd!! They might have you guys fooled but I ain't buying it. I want to see the REAL time capsule car!

Colin I was thinking the same thing, I am no Metallurgist but you would think that sheet metal would have looked like a piece of rotten pine with a billion hungry termites eating at it for 50 years. Maybe the lack of Oxygen in the tomb saved the car. The way it looks a dip in the Redi-Strip tank and the car will be very restorable. I have fixed MUCH Worse. These old Mopar’s rotted so badly that if it wasn’t stored in a garage in Arizona they were doomed.
