What ever happen to the car that was buried Tulsa’s 1957 Plymouth Belvedere?
October 29th, 2009 | by admin |
I know it was a rust bucket, but what happen current? Did the winners take it? Did it stay in Tulsa? Was it scrapped?
The person who made the guess had died in 1979, so his closest relatives got it, and the savings account now worth $700 (started out originally with $100).

They also buried a pre-production Plymouth Prowler in 1998, to be dug out in 2048. This time they used a seamless plastic box that was pressurized to (hopefully) prevent water entry 
It was put in a mausoleum, then covered partially with dirt. http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=070616_1_A8_hOffi67475
They also buried a Harley in 2007 to be unearthed in 2057, also put in a mausoleum like the Prowler. http://kotv.com/news/topstory/?id=133796
