Found at bottom of lake!

Uh…wow! First commenter comes close to correctly identifying it, but I think he's off by a year; I think it was a '61, not a '60. Does anyone else see my clue?

gotta wonder where the rest of it went.

Trim ring on deck lid??

 

[Revhendo]

Couldn't say for sure. What I do know is that I am gonna lose a lot of time watching the connected videos of abandoned dealerships, lost Russian tanks, Route 66 dust bowl relics.....

Thanks Dan.

 

[slantsixdan]

Nope, the trim ring on the deck lid is the same in '60-'61.

Another guess...?

Inst cluster housing?

It's been underwater for decades. The rest of it no longer exists. That's a big clue as to what tips me off to 1961 vs. 1960.

The worst part is that you never know where you end up. Start with abandoned cars, click to WWII relics in a cave, click to bat caves in NM, click to Ted Williams greates batting moments, click to Ted Williams the homeless golden voice, click to a blooper reel from The Voice TV show, end up on a Blake Shelton music video......

 

[slantsixdan]

Aluminum block?

No, this engine is a 170 -- those were all iron.

But you're definitely getting close to seeing what I'm seeing!

1960 had a A323 2 spd. auto, but honestly i tell what that trans is?

P.S. after some parts lookup i see that trans listed as 1961 also on some sites. so i guess that wont help.

 

[slantsixdan]

1960 had a A323 2 spd. auto,

Nope, never any 2-speed automatics in A-bodies. Transmission options in '60-'61 (and other years, but those are the two years we're talking about here) were A903 3-speed manual or A904 3-speed automatic.

Thanks Dan. Learned something today, and that's always a good thing .

The body of Jimmy Hoffa?? Ahhh- it all comes together now...... lol

 

[Dfnsmn34]

tail lights?

btw ...dunno why...the sound doesn't work for me in the first video....

 

[slantsixdan]

Same taillights '60-'61.

I'm looking at one of the engine bolt-ons.

 

[OldmanRick]

I'll take one more shot Dan,.....60' intake alum. 61' intake iron?

 

[66340SEDAN]

Generator!

Nah, Hoffa disappeared in 75 and I hear he was into Cadillacs. If you know what I mean.

What about that HUGE fish skeleton near the end?

That fish is pretty cool. Maybe we should figure out what kind it was before it was done in.
