What a waste of a perfectly good car. 
Now it will probably wind up at Barrett-Jackson and bring a gazillion bucks.------------------

All kidding aside,, in the late 60's - 70's it was common practice for the Railroads around here to bury cars that were part of a derailment/accident on the tracks..I remember one that guys came back to town and said they were burying Mustangs that only had a few dents in them,, but the insurance company wanted them disposed of.. TRUE STORY.. ------------------

I like the fact that they buried some gas and some oil with it - just in case in the year 2007 that kind of stuff isnt around anymore, then we would still be able to take it for a drive. I bet the gas isnt usable anymore, if it hasnt already eaten through its container and got into the ground.I guess they thought we'd be living like the jetsons by now... Tranquillizers, cigarettes and unpaid parking tickets in the glove box... Not much has changed in 50 years.
