  • A good car never driven and look at it now

  • The car turned into a pile of shit just like their country 50 years later!!!

  • They forgot to finich the sentence of the posterthat said suddenly it's 2007. They should have added ...and I'm a rusted POS.

  • It rusted very nicely, much like the ones that got sold and driven for real.

  • there was a proposal back then to put it in a steel box seal it and pump in nitrogen into it but the sponsors didnt think it was needed what a bunch of idiots

  • Wut a waste!... They did not foresee water will be accumulated in that vault!

  • Looks like they buried it in the bottom of a lake. What a shame.

  • I'd like to burry any 2012 car and leave it there.

  • My Uncle came in 2nd place to win this car!! He said he had no clue what to do with it if he won except to donate it.

  • Schrott!

  • I want to burry a 2012 impala ss and dig it up in 50 years.

  • my grandpa could keep it for a $/day in his garage.

  • why do people say that it was a waste? if they had not put the car in there it would maybe stand in the wood rusting apart instead of standing in a museum and being famous!

  • @norwayguy121 ummm... maybe they should have just covered it up and stuck it in a garage for 50 years?? they could be driving it now. 

  • get the engine and drive train going and drive it as is LOL, only it would probably disintergrate on the first speed bump from the rust

  • If I had the chance to get this car and was offered a restoration . I would say yes completely restore her . She deserves to be cruising down the highway , going to cruise in and car shows.

    I would love her enough to do this,

  • If this was Christine -- she would fix herself up and hunt down those responsible (if they're still alive)... 

  • if it were up to me, I would do a ground-up restore.... And they should have listened to that engineer that told them to install a drainage system and connect the vault to the HVAC in a nearby building!

  • @Genners111 I agree100%

  • Song name please? Anyone?

  • @Genners111 "24 Hours from Tulsa" by Gene Pitney

  • hmz is ja lustig

  • Comment removed

  • Slight rust and corrosion,  outher wise a daily driver. 1500 obo

  • @armybrat7643 Did you read the first comment? A museum purchased the car from the owners for $500,000.

  • t-cut and it will be fine tbh

  • Is the Paint still under warranty?

  • just needs some tdc

  • wow

  • So american. Ignorant optimists.

  • @dubdubas shut the fuck up lol it was 50 years ago and what's wrong with optimism mr. negative?

  • It would have been a lot nicer if they had just left it on the courthouse lawn for 50 years!

  • so sad ,poor car,my mom and dad were going to college together in tulsa and actually went to see this car being put in the ground,my mom died in 03 but my dad was still alive when they pulled the belvedere out,as a guy majoring in geology at the time and later graduating in 59 he pretty much knew what it was gonna look like before they pulled it out

  • Should've put some type of shed over the area to make the rain run away. Maybe even an closed shed built on top.

  • Thumbs up if you notived the comma after the the 2 in the 2007.

  • best laid plans of man and mice. They did not plan for the unpredictable.

    Go see: "Arrest of George W. Bush, soon"

  • what a piece of junk

  • Its a shame they did not think about putting the '57 in above ground vault and lock it shut .

  • @sb57fury1 an engineer at the time suggested they hooked the vault up to the building HVAC system and set up drainage... they didn't listen to him!

  • @Genners111 The one who did not listen is abig dummy

  • @sb57fury1 yeah... a big dummy with an accounting degree... or an MBA perhaps... who only cared about money

  • @sb57fury1 or weld it shut...

  • @sb57fury1 fuck you it was an awesome idea

  • @60chevywitha250 Damn what the fucks your problem.

  • @9timesnine Back At You

  • shitters!

  • une aussi belle voiture sa sa servie a quoi de lentéré?

  • Why did they bury this car??

  • @Skoda130 They want to show the world how they were and lived in Tulsa in 1957

  • @raba3e Looks pretty rotten.. ;-)

  • @Skoda130 HAHA...I know

  • the Titanic is in better shape!

  • Whose was that smart idea?

  • Isn't it cool to think that for 50years that car was burried under there. Throughout all the different things that were happening in the world. Music, Space, War, Styles, Technology, and the list goes on.... Wow, I would have loved to have been there when they brought her up... Thats just awesome.

  • CARS FICKEN DICKED

    

  • someone didnt plan the burial out too well damn i have a 68 chevell that sits out in the weather year round through rain snow wind an sun an its in way better condition than that

  • Show us, Christine... FIX THYSELF!!!

  • As a time capsule, this car should have been found and dug up 1,000 years from now or longer. 50 years is just a waste of our time.  Gee I wonder what life was like in 1957? or perhaps there were other reasons it was dug up?

  • i really don't see the point of it, why have a car that looks in as poor shape as it does, doesn't run or drive and just let it sit there. they should at least put it in such a way that it runs and drives surely?

  • Too bad they didn't store it above ground, like in a vault built in a parking garage or something. Why not have had a line of custodians keep it up in a conventional collector car storage?

  • WHY!?!?!?!?!

  • put it back.

  • This is the only time we would want Christine to restore herself...

  • @Genners111 christine was a '57 fury

  • @viciousroadietom '58 actually, and they DID use some Belvederes and Savoys in the movie, as well.

  • for sale 57 Plymouth Belvedere zero miles on the clock never driven garaged under a cover away from weather...... (little bit rusty) lol

  • protective cover, lol

  • Yeah, cars today may be made to last, but they really arent. its all a lie. Cars now are made as cheaply as possible & really they want you to buy new cars. seriously!! Consider us snowy states (those with Great Lakes & Lake Effect), most of us unfortunatley use salt on the roads. Our cars start rusting almost immediately. Look at Pennsylvania, some of them use ash on thier roads. thier cars look pristine!!!! And someone still makes the mistake of causing galvanic corrosion todayOn brake parts..

  • Wow! Found this while looking for something else (nowhere near car related) on google..

    i saw 57 Plymouth & Buried and just had too look!!

    It's a shame that the vault faild but that stuff happens. At least there was still enough left to restore though!! I just hope it DOESNT end up on Barret Jackson!! It may be fun to watch, but this is one car that should become a showqueen!! It's a part of history that should be remembered!! Thanks for posting this even though its been a long time since!!

  • Meanwhile in Tulsa......

  • This song sucks!

  • You couldve kept her in good,mint,great original shape.Now ... why the FUCK would you bury it???!?

  • YOU SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT YOU BURIED IT

  • someone comes to buy it *You said she only has has 23 miles on her?" yup i swear

  • Good idea which was poorly executed.

  • Thank god it wasent a 57 chevy!

  • What were they thinking? Were they on crack back then?

  • Whos stupid idea wa it to ruin a beautiful car. STUPID!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • thats Christine's cousin....she'll get revenge.... >.< 

  • Remember reading bout this in a magazine.. Driver I think.. pretty sad and unfortunate what happened with it quite the car of its time and a good looking car at that I think personally.. dont see many around even online unless I`m lookin in the wrong places.

  • It would have looked better if it was just parked in a field for 50 years!

  • Send it to the shit heap, its complete and utter trash now. Who wants to look at a rusty old turd.

  • All i think about when i hear underground tomb is my leaky-ass basement,.. if americans cant make a BASEMENT water proof,... then wtf was the plan here

  • what the fuck?! i mean just what the fuck?! Why would you do that

  • is this restorable?

  • lf Billy Mayes were alive he'd find something to buff it with that would completly restore it.

  • what happened is Tulsa wanted to make a vault which would be opened in 50 years. Then Chrysler decided to donate one of their Plymouths. The belvedere was buried with numerous other items. A few decades ago, there was a flood in Tulsa and the concrete vault didnt hold up. The winner of the Plymouth would be whoever gused what the population would be in 2007. The winner died a decade or so ago so it went to his 2 sisters. Apparently, a museum bought it off them for 500,000. Like this so others..

  • @InmyJag I had heard that the vault was well sealed, but road construction in the seventies had possibly cracked it.

  • @darkyoda I read that it was because of the flood in a magazine in Australia called Unique cars where the people went to the opening. There is a possibility that it could have been both.

  • If this is not stupid then I don't know what else to say! That was the only way to keep a car for 50 years....5 feet under??? Huh??? Did they heard about a garage??? Or a museum? Instead of a shiny car now they have this.

  • It looks like shit, But its all there!!! lol

  • That's about the stupidest YouTube video I've seen. Where was Heraldo Rivera?

  • what was under ground  that ripe the seats

  • Damn, the Fury looks as old as dirt!!!

  • i remember when they dug it up. it took them a while just 2 get the car opened and get the stuff out. it was like a time capsule. they had the pretty the whole thing on tv of them digging it up and getting the stuff out.

  • a present from the past......a pile of useless rust. IQs must have been fairly low in 1957 Tulsa

  • they stole spongebob's car!!!!!!!

  • My father has a 1962 plymouth belvedere, its black and fully working ;)

  • nice laquer :D

  • New old stock

  • Metal quality was much better back then, so I don't think they should bury any modern cars, All you'll be left with is the cigarette lighter. Oh no! They banned smoking too!

  • Look everyone! Mengle2004 has no soul!

  • what a waste, poor thing

  • Poor little car.

    Wish they'd do that to say a Prius... but just leave it buried forever

  • Christine.

  • when I was akid you could s see these 57s still on the road up till about 1977

  • @inkey2 Some parts of the country you see trucks from the late sixties being used as everyday drive to work and grocery wheels. They don't treat them as parade or car show queens they use them as anyone would a Silverado or F150 brand new in 2011. The way I use my 1970 console stereo, as an EVERYDAY sound system not museum piece.

    Engine or tranny going bad? Just rebuild since there IS something to build upon with cast iron blocks and full frames.

  • @Nivicoman I always used my vintage cars as daily....62 chrysler, 65 Chevy nova wagon, 77 buick regal, 86 grand prix.......the only reason I got rid of any of them was "rust"......the salted snowy roads here in massachusetts total destroys cars. The 65 nova is the one I miss the most.....

  • hey,,,,,,just take it through the car wash.........buff it with turtle wax and it will look like new

  • It's still more of a car than a Prius.

  • city hall inadvertently poked a septic line in the vault

  • Jeez, talk about a frickin' time capsule. Wow.

  • What a horible thing to do to a perfectly good car.

  • eww yuk put it back in the vault. let it rest in piece

  • Okay were gonna need some cut polish, a quart of oil, and a new battery here... being she's a 57 Plymouth she'll fire right up anyway.

  • I think the guy who passed the idea of burrying the car needs to be fired.Why didnt they just crate the car up and place in a hanger in area51.

  • @mengle2004 of coarse the car came back three weeks later

  • Why? 

  • Car looks destroyed but to be safe I would crush it into a cube...god I hate rock N roll.

  • Sadly the people who designed that vault did not took the task seriously enough. Hence this beauty couldn't even survive 50 years. A simple concrete casket is not enough.

    I would suggest doing something like that again. Bury a modern car in a properly sealed two stage watertight vault with the car itself vaccum sealed into a simple bag of plastic foil. This way it should easily survive 50 or even 100 years.

    And when this one is dug out again, its petrol engine will be an antiquity. ;-)

  • @Celeon999A jes good idea but i think modern cars don't have that flair like a belvedere , so tht would not be so special :p

  • i bet she still works

  • @TheMustang1998 U smarty or something?

    Her engine wont start before it has been cleaned and restored..

    In this condition she wont drive anywhere...

  • @bectes1995 false, trust me haha

  • @rockurworld99 U think that it runs in that condition? XD

    FAIL

  • @bectes1995 and please state your experience with cars..... doesn't fucking matter let it dry out and i guarantee you can get any beat to shit motor to fire it may not run but it will fucking fire. and dont bother arguing if you havnt restored over 5 cars.cause i aint gunna bother reading it child

  • @bectes1995 oh my mistake i didnt realize your 15, im just gunna block you.

  • are some one restoring this car or did i went to scrap???

  • are some one retoring this car or did i went to scrap???

  • What a waste. Why didnt they do this with a fucking Gremlin or a Pinto ?

  • @JackBuck44

    Because those models were 20 years away in the future!

    It was 1957.

    That auto "could" be restored, but too much work. I think they did it for a laugh.

    Rich men die & have themselves buried inside their Rolls Royce etc so this pales by

    comparison imo...

  • @RetroCaptain It was a joke. This is Youtube....don't read to much into the comments.

  • this video belongs in the "Fail" section somewhere

  • i bet that thing would look better if it was driven til this day instead of being buried.

  • @Matt06yfz couldn't they restore it?

  • They buried a car not to long ago....on of the ugly ass Plymouth Shadows. They are goingtot open it up in 2040 something

  • @Dayberry Plymouth Prowler,to be opened in 2048

  • por car never even got to race.

  • Comment removed

  • america got fatter

  • i wonder if it starts

  • If it had been sitting in a museum for 50 years it would be pristine, and no one would go see it. People bury and dig up time capsules for sensationalism, the items usually suck and get ruined.

  • funerals are so hard to watch

  • assholes, could have atleast put in a box so it the interior wouldent fill with dirt and shit and rott the hell out it...

  • boyd coddington ruined so many cars by turning the classic stock beauty into chopped kustom bullshit. Glad he cant do it anymore

  • So what are you doing to do with it now?

  • D o it to a 2011 Bugatti Veyron!!! :D

  • it would have been more preserved if you let it sit in a 50 foot pool of maneur. Or hell if you just kept it in a parking lot it would have been better. or even grandmas garage. It looks like it has been with the titanic. Was that really the engineering that took place back then?

  • @paintballgundown8 the cement walls of the hole it was is cracked 20 or 30 years ago and got like a foot and a half of water in it.

  • @1911lover01 i understand that. But they really thought a few inches of concrete under a roadway was going to last long.

  • @paintballgundown8 Trust me, if we threw a Ford Focus down there for 40 years, they thing woulnt exsist. That car is a boat and was built to last, its dumb ass paul bearers buried it in an old pool that they thought was water proof. in the meantime, anyone want to help me restore it?

    *leans against car- *Disintigrates*

    Fuck....

  • @TheMadDooby Yeah i was talking about the engineering of the box it was in. i mean really, 6 inches of cement?

  • @paintballgundown8 An old pool? Ya thats ment to keep water IN not OUT

  • @TheMadDooby a lake holds water so it makes sense to think its waterproof right?

  • @paintballgundown8 I dont think i get where your going with this

  • @TheMadDooby nether do i.

  • @TheMadDooby modern car bodywork is galvanised before painting so they probably would stay intact for 40 years.

  • @Cytacon Really? My mother has a 2008 escape and the rear panel is rusted out underneath the paint. And did you think about the car parts that aren't gavalnized and painted like the chassis? maybe the brakes? Cool the body panels last 40 years submerged in a pool. The rest of the car is fucked

  • @TheMadDooby There is no chassis on a modern car. Hasn't been for nearly 20 years. I Know, I have been working in the industry for years. Tell your mother to stop drinking.

  • @Cytacon What are you the fucking sales guy? Are you seriously kidding me?

  • @TheMadDooby I dip them ;).

  • @Cytacon You dip chassis and tell me they aren't in modern cars? Although dipping chassis does prevent rust and i highly doubt the car above was dipped so you would have a point there

  • so! does it run?...XD i know it doesnt

  • Hey Tulsa, let's bury a Hemi Challenger and do it again in the same place, ' If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! " Suddenly, It's 2,060!!!

  • it whould have benn cooler if it wasent soaked in water for 50 years, i bet that thing smelled horoble when it was in the showroom

  • NOTHING stays waterproof underground for 50 years. Idiots. A perfect car ruined.

  • that shit'll buff out

  • @bigbadbronco86 thats what im sayin,put some dubs on that bitch

  • You'd also look pretty bad if they dug you up after a 50 year entombment. :)

  • i read an "update" thing on it and it was going through the rust striping process but now it is in storage rusting away agian, i saw i picture taken twards the beginning of this mnth and it had a lot of surface rust starting to form agian. who knows how long it will go untouched now, supposedly tulsa was offered the chanse to have the car come back but they turned it down. i dont know if this is for sure its just what i have read. pretty sad though

  • AGAIN RAT ROD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MAYBE SHE JUST NEEDS A GOOD WASH....HOPEING

  • i would have had it in an above ground tomb...

  • americans, only americans would try something this stuipid......never go full retard, or american for that matter.

  • @Gromitdog1 hey, it was in the 50s man, what are you british or uk, either way both came up with radioactive water that will make you feel better and live longer, europeans devoleoped sticky hand grenades. the 50s werent a well thought through time anywhere in the world, and canada developed a nuclear rifle that would blow up on liftoff and kill everyone.

  • @Gromitdog1 i figured you were a candaian and i was right, im starting to think all of you are mad you wound up in a shit heap like that lol either way youre all bitter for some reason, enlighten me man whats it come from, is that cold weather shrinking your balls along with your brains, whats the deal man??

  • fuckn idiots.conrete cracks and no plastic barriers?if they used aluminum it would still be drivable most likely

  • I am not a car buff, but I am truly crying now.
