I was doing some digging in a neighbors flowerbed and ran across this little jewel. Wondering how long it has been buried so deep... ![]() ![]() ![]()

Quite long if you ask me. I t was always great fun, playing with your carts in the sand but there was always the risk of 'forgetting' one. |

Looks like one of those cars they pull out a lake after 30 years. Cold case solved! |

I hope you used proper forensic recovery methods so as not to lose any evidence.

I'll guess that it's a #22 Pontiac Grand Prix, regular wheels version. |

Seriously, that would be one of my favorite pieces. That patina could never be replicated, and looks perfect on the rollback. Truly a jewel! |

It looks perfect on the back of the hauler - an old relic off to someplace...

Looks like it has suffered the sharp edge of a shovel more than once over the years, curious how the hole got into the top of the trunk area there. I'm wondering if you might be able to sell that on the online auction site as a "rare" variation.

PERFECT find for a junkyard dio. Looks like it could have been run over by a lawnmower, which would have flung it into the flowerbed. KA-PWING!! Edited by guy64, Sep 22 2017, 01:01 AM.
