Well, the official unveiling isn't until Friday evening, but this doesn't look good:

the only thing that is some hope is that plastic which was supposed to last some super long time like a thousand years and it does appear to be intact so it still remains to be seen. I really actually hope it's in decent shape but we will know friday I guess

I sure hope that the car will be OK. But, it sure looks like a lot of water in there. The people that buried the car, did not plan on any water in there. We will see on Friday.

well, i still think it is very salvageable, but the interior looked like a wreck.

the thing its got going for it is its history behind it, other than that, not much else.

its a shame all that water got in there.
