So the question remains, where is it now?
I'm aware of a couple older wrecking yards on rt 20 , might be worth a drive across the state to check them out.

The yard that submerged Superbird went to would have parted it out within probably a year & crushed it. That car is LOOOOONG gone. Only way it could have survived, is if someone bought it complete from the yard. Helluva story though.

Don't know what it was like back then, but these days, a flood car (one that has been under water above the rockers) that is less then 10 years old at the time of going under water, can not be "rebuilt" it has to be scrapped. That's not correct. Plenty of cars that end up in the situation you describe get repaired.

IDK, I've dunked a few 4wd trucks over the years, pull em out, drain them out, fresh fluids and run it!
One was my 6 month old Ranger. Drove it daily for 4 years.
