I'm just at a loss to try and explain it. It has to involve water somehow, but I'm used to seeing things like the instrument cluster rusting and having a lot of buildup on the inside of the glass. These look too clean for that.

Looks to me like it had been wrecked and then sat outside open to the elements for 20-30 years, maybe at a junk yard, on someone's property waiting for that "restoration" that never came, or at the bottom of a gorge off of the side of Mulholland.
