RE: [Chrysler300] Underwater F?

[Ryan Hill <ryan_hillc300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Really deep, cold fresh water will preserve wood and sometimes steel fairly well but if it's only 6 feet under, there's too much oxygen in the water to have preserved it. Anyone ever see what cars that get pulled out of rivers and lakes usually look like after only a few short years? ......I wouldn't expect much. Seems to me the Fury time capsule in Tulsa, Oklahoma was in a similar environment.... An interesting story none the less, true or not.

      I'll second that.  I'm a diver, and have seen lots of stuff well  preserved 

underwater, especially when it is fresh water.  I would bet all  of the 

metal is preserved very well; much better than metal that is left out,  gets 

wet, and then is exposed to air.

 

Couldn't someone contact the manager of the club and just ask if there is  

any truth to the rumor?  If the answer is yes, then I would ask what the  

membership requirements are.  It would probably be worth it to join, just  for 

the adventure of it, or actually seeing it if it is there, regardless of 

its  condition.

 

Looking forward to hearing more on this.

If it is cold fresh water  (less sunlight helps) it could be remarkably 

intact. Go get it and let us  know....the missing F. Of course if you get it 

out it will need immediate  conditioning and preserving not to mention 

cleaning. Any suggestions:  



I once had a BMW which possessed a secret desire to become a U-Boat.  When 

in the sixth floor UNDERGROUND safe parking garage. The Earthen street  

bulkhead collapsed in a thunderstorm all the rainwater (normally going down  the 

drain) ran down (you guessed it) the lowest basement garage level. Just  

where my classic BMW and 56 Bird where "safely parked". Through the efforts of 

 the EPA and the building; it took 12 weeks to pump out the water 

repeatedly  into one tanker truck (for safely disposing of the "contaminated water"). 

The  cars were unusually well preserved by all the "pollutants" mixed in 

the fresh  water. They then both had a complete rebuild and were surprisingly 

clean  throughout even the engine when it came apart was shinny and clean. I 

remember  remarking it cleaned up like the dinner serving plates in a 

dishwasher.....

I suppose anything is possible. however, with the way  EPA (federal and 

local) are about fluids and water contaminants, I am  surprised they did not 

make it be pulled from the water due to leaking fluids,  rusting issues, etc. 

Must be pretty rusty by now. If he put it in there after  20 years (1980), 

then it has been in there another 32 years. Must be a reef by  now.
