I hate to spoil the party, but if there was water in the vault with that car for 50 years, then it wasn’t buried, it was submerged and is now a very soggy, rusty paperweight.

Yeah, they should have called Doc Brown to help out with the preservation. Using 1880s tech, he not only kept a DeLorean buried and in good condition for 70 years, the gasoline was still good! Couldn’t say the same for the tires though.

It was supposedly examined while it was still in the vault and some expert who restores cars (can’t remember his name) was on the news saying that he was anxious to get it started and running (i.e., the engine) and apparently thought it was possible — by 7 PM tonight. It’s going to be on the news, showing it fully uncovered. We’ll see what condition it’s in and if it actually starts or not.

So, someone who is supposed to apparently know about these things has examined it and says that it’s possible to get it running by tonight. We’ll see...

And, by the way, someone is going to win that car, from an estimate of the population of Tulsa by this year (from 50 years ago). That’s supposed to be revealed tonight, too.

There was another estimate, that I heard on TV, that the car is probably worth at least $25,000 and maybe $50,000. So, we’ll see about that.
