I see the Peanut Gallery is present.

That's not what I was talking about, but I appreciate the devotion to an elaborate response. Keep on truckin'!

They just need to take it to Andy Granatelli's Tune Up Masters.



I think a new cap and rotor should do it.

Funny how quickly you resort to insults when others look at things differently than you do.

This may come as a suprise to you, but not everyone sees you as the "Authority" on pretty much everything that you see yourself as.

That's just a sad picture....

It's really too bad - it would have been cool to see it come out alive...

Yeah... so how's this for an idea:

Restore HALF the car, going lengthwise. Sure, it wouldn't run, but it would be pretty cool (I think) to have say, the driver's side completely restored while leaving the passenger's side as is -- interior, exterior, engine compartment, etc.

I'd enjoy seeing something like that.

interesting way to do the car. I think that would be more difficult than a full resto trying to preserve the as removed side.

Oh for sure, it would be REALLY tough. It's a much bigger challenge then gutting it, welding on tons of new metal, throwing in a new interior, parts, etc.

I just got back tonight from Tulsa. It was a shame to see Miss Belvedere in that condition, but I witnessed one of the best car shows I've ever been to. My wife and I had a wonderful time, the city was very supportive, everyone was very nice, and the best representation of '57-'58 Plymouths I've ever seen in one place. Glad I went!!Great weekend!

Instead of restoring it and burying it again, I say leave it "as is". Trade it for a new car from chrysler and have the new car buried in a new vault.

What car? I got a great one...


No, really interesting, If a car guy gets it why not? It would be great if they had something else to "dig" up in the future. Heck put the SS prototype in a uhhh crypt (hopefully waterproof for sure" for the future.

I can see it now: After "blank" years we will reveal the Plymouth Prowler and a one of a kind one off Challenger concept. Why not?















The first new challenger to come off the assembly line

They said they would trade ANY new car

Well, I was there, so doncha think that counts for something? And others were there and agree with me.

This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about. Please don't pretend to know what I am thinking, and please try - TRY! - to see the bright side of this event instead of succumbing to the grumpiness that seems to be the nature of some people.

Yea, that would be cool, probably easiest to cut it right down the center with a big saw and restore the one half (likely the drivers side since that's where allot of asemetrical gear is located, steering wheel, etc.)

I had a gut feeling that this car was going to be rough when they yanked it out of that hole, but I was hoping for the best. I understand that this event was about more that just a 57 Plymouth, but as a car guy that is what I am most interested in (sorry, that may sound bad but its the truth). What I dont understand about some of the folks replying to this thread is, why would you pull the trigger and just junk this car when you really dont know what kind of shape it is really in? I have looked at the pics and seen some parts that are clearly junked out, but until it is cleaned off and put under a microscope, it cant just be written off. When was the last time that any of us bought a PROJECT that did not need parts replaced. Heck, most of the junk I have drug home looks unsavable until its cleaned up. Hopefully if the new owner of this car does not have the where with all to make something of it, they pass it off to capable hands. If the car is fixable it should be fixed. If it is too far gone, then it should be cleaned up and displayed as a piece of Tulsa history (and a reminder of how not to store a car ) .

Yeah, the "peanut gallery" is here.


I read what you were talking about, it was "Vietnam", "subsequent wars", "feminist manifestos", "America before she took that hit of LSD", you name it.
Nothing of relevance, just spewing from a guy trying to be thought of as a writer of some sort, correct me if I'm wrong.
Unless "Vietnam" has something to do with this thread in any way....

Read and try to understand OTHERS. Not insult and impose your opinions.


I don't find much of what you have written relevant, and what you wrote about personal experience I find highly hypocritical, considering your past posts.

This event was about THE PLYMOUTH for many around the world. Not the high school yearbooks, not the contents of a woman's purse, THE CAR.
Many are disappointed because of the outcome, and many are "negative" because it was a negative outcome.
Understandably so IMO.
