Can't help but look at this as much more than just a dirty old rusty car... I mean, when this was put in the ground:

- Chrysler had just started using torsion bars
- They hadn't built a unibody car yet (the Airflows don't count)
- The slant six was still 3 years away
- Push button automatics were futuristic and trendy
- Seat belts were not yet standard equipment... airbags? whassat??
- Richard Petty was just starting his racing career
- Superbird? Daytona? Huh?
- The early Hemi was still offered in new cars
- Fins were in!

What has happened since the last time this car saw the light of day?

- Viet Nam
- The Lunar landing
- The musclecar era came, went, came back again
- The internet
- Funnycars
- The second gen Hemi came and went
- My best buddy lived and died
- NASCAR changed from basically showroom-stock vehicles to something that isn't even remotely related to a showroom-stock vehicle
- Chrysler almost went bankrupt twice, invented the minivan, was bought, sucked dry and sold by a German company....

I could go on and on... just overwhelmed by all the history that has happened while that ol' thing was buried underground.
