I'm guessing it will be in great shape 

[41husk]

I am not at all sure, but I hope it is in great shape.

[Jon Smith]

I reckon the chamber will be full of water
either that or it will look immaculate but will crumble to a heap of dust when someone touches it

[FastbackJon]

I bet they will auction it off and the high bidder will be some idiot who will just restore it to look like all the other ones out there.

From the video "gas and oil were also placed in the trunk in case it was no longer around in 2007"  

I'm pretty sure gas and oil will be here for another 50 years from now even.  maybe even 100 years..    

[bull]

That 50-year-old gas is probably of better quality than today's 5-week-old gas.

[tan top]

i would like to think that it is just like the day it was put in the ground but in reality i think it is sitting in 6" 's of  murky water dissolving . i really hope i am wrong on this one .

[rt green]

either way, i'd like to see it. i bet the smokes in the glove box will go on ebay

[ChargerXP]

That's very cool.  I'd love to see it.  If it was properly sealed, I think it'll be in really good shape!

[1BAD68]

I wonder if 50 year old Shlitz is drinkable? Seriously they must have thought so 50 years ago

[Charger_Fan]

Assuming it does come out in pristine condition...any guesses on the BJ sale amount next year?

I'm going with 2 Million.

I bet the 50 year old Shlitz tastes just as horrible as new Shlitz. It will be quite the event.

Probably since it will most likely be a museum buying the car, and it seems like they have that kind of money to spend...

Tulsa World newspaper-"There was a contest before it was buried. Tulsans were asked to estimate the population of Tulsa as of June 1. The estimate closest to the population posted by the U.S. Census Bureau on June 1, 2007, wins the Plymouth. If the winner is dead, the car goes to heirs. If a winner can't be located, it goes to the Tulsa Historical Society"

Depends on how well the "chamber" was built.   

I'm thinking a few things though. 

1.  Even if the chamber stayed fully intact, it isn't climate controlled.

2.. No matter how well this thing was constructed, if it's made of concrete, it is porous.   It will also surely have developed some stress cracks over the years due to temperature change, and the Earth's natural tendency to shift and move.

3.  Due to any combination of the above, the chamber is probably compromised to some degree.   If so, a significant amount of ground water has probably accumulated inside.  We all know what condiition cars of this vintage which have sat for years in marshy areas are in.  We'll be lucky if the chamber isn't filled with rusty water, a few tires, some assorted rubber and vinyl parts, and the window glass.

[hemi-hampton]

I say the thing comes out mint (looks like i'm about the only one?) & looking like brand new like the day it went in. Hopefully? LEON.

[6670charger]

 

We can only hope.

the beer probably froze the first year and broke the containers. starting the rust!   wouldnt that suck. i really hope it comes out looking good. time will tell. whats the vegas odds on it?

Oh, quite right. I forgot about that.

Ok, so 2 Million at BJ next year & one overjoyed lucky seller, who feels as though he's won the lottery.

When's the d-day?

Why wonder? 5 day old Schlitz isn't drinkable!!!!!

[CharlieCharger]

I would hope that it comes out the day it went in, but most know there is going to be some sort of rust on that thing, if it hasnt been returned to the elements.
