It's appears that no one expected the vault to fill with water. The "protection" put on the car was more for humidity than submersion. It really is sad. For all the effort expended to bury the car the one crutial issue, that the vault had to be absolutely water tight, was missed. We don't use basements in our part of the country. If we, did like northern states, this would have been attended to I imagine. I'm going to the car show and to see it in a few hours. I was 9 years old when it was buried.
As I've gotten older I am amazed and continually aware how often one error in judgment can lead to catastrophic results. In this case the steps were not taken to assure the vault was water tight.
Back to Cobra's! Should get car back from paint before long and I will soon me making decisions regarding shift points at high RPM levels! BB
