it looks like the car is sitting on the bag and they just unfolded the bag up around the car and sealed it, if so i believe the car is alright as long as there were no holes punched in the bag. kinda like a ziploc bag, i hope.

I wonder if the fluids were drained prior to storing it. If the engine had oil and the tranny had fluid and the axle had gear oil and water did indeeed flood the car it would have been floating on top.
EPA wouldn't have given the go ahead.
I imagine they left the fluids in.

EPA does not have a presence in Oklahoma. The enviromental regulatory presence in OK is the DEQ.
Secondly, if you notice in one of the pics with water in it, you can see a sheen on the water.

I keep going back to the picture clearly showing the shape of the front fenders under the plastic cover. They look like the right shape, contours and all. Isn't that front corner the weakest part, rust-wise, on this era Chrysler product? Yes, I'm an unrealistic optimist. Still...

Yeah, it's true that this era Mope when left exposed to the elements tends to rust badly around the headlight area. But obviously the way this car may or may not be "aged" is totally unique.

One thing I'm unclear about it....
Is it really a bag the car is in? or is it more like a drop cloth just covering it?

it would be foolish to say the least to alter this car in anyway i.e. restore it, part it etc., it should be displayed in the condition it is in no matter how bad it may or may not be.
