    Crazy story with this. I wonder if Swanny would be interested in this?

    Man, that vinyl seems tuff, and makes me think it wasn't that old when it went into the drink.

    It's actually a '76. One of my friends in high school had a green one like it. Didn't realize how cool it was until we got older and realize we would love to have it back!

    You know what. You’re exactly right. The ‘75 had the exaggerated’74 Impala grill. I saw the round light and forgot that Impala had the round light and caprice had the square light. Thank you good catch.

    Looks like a theft, strip, and dump. I do not see an engine in it. And do you think the rear axle is still in the mud below the surface? I suspect either the frame mounts or leaf springs rotted out.

    Yeah not much left on it. Sounds like they don’t even strip parts. Of course what could be good on it that’s left, and usable. Sounds like they haul it right to the yard. Loved the cops response when he asked if they had a flatbed…….. Well nobody called you…..
