One O-Nerd dollar says it'll be a hunk of rust

Comment comment by Brandon on 13 June 2007

Not because of the physics of the situation, but because I'd love to see the ratings of the annoying Oklatravelnet.com site plummet due to covering the flop.

Also, I think it'd be interesting to compare the increase in value of the car over the past 50 years as compared to a CD (or something).

It completely depends on how they sealed the car from the elements. If they hermetically sealed it with dry air in the capsule and took reasonable care that not many contaminates were on the car, then it may come out looking like brand new. I drove a pickup truck through 18 New England winters with all its road salt, never putting it in a garage or even washing it much. It finally got too rusty to deal with, but 18yrs/50yrs is about 1/3 of the way in that abused manner; and though it's off the road, it's still a functional vehicle. (Of sorts.)

Writing news posts about it isn't going to help. :)

Here are some high resolution pictures of the car and the items that were stored inside it. Looks like a "fixer upper"
