    You know.....if they'd buried a '57 Fairlane- They could've cranked it up and drove it across the stage......

    I'll bet there is a lot of parts, especially trim parts, that could bring a lot of money on Ebay. I'd take it.

    I'd take it even if it is crap... You won it and might as well take it... Why let a musuem just take it from you?

    Of course you could sell it to someone, another musuem, or ebay it?

    Can you imagine what it will look like if it is held in trust for 5 years.

    I agree with Dennis, lots of parts.

    In the year 2048 you might think differently. That car should be worth a small fortune then if it stays like new.

    You and everyone else. :)

    I agree, I think the trim would be worth something. I think this car will have value simply based on the fact that it was the famous "buried car" - even in it's current condition. There's always someone that will buy it.

    You're exactly right. There are buyers out there that would pay a small fortune for it just because of that fact. Way more than selling trim off of it.

    It will probably find its way on ebay or some other auction and go for a lot more than what we think it is worth.

    A few weeks ago, a General Lee owned by one of the original Duke boys sold for several million dollars on ebay. This car did not even appear in any of the shows, it was jut professionally restored and autographed.

    With all the hype surrounding this Belvedere, someone must be saying, "One day she will be mine".... and will be willing to pay a lot of $$$. :2cents:
