Nope, but it probably rides like a dump truck.

It’s all the dirt in the frunk. Looks ridden hard and put away wet, just not under water.

My guess is they also had a beach house, and never parked it in the surf...Carefully positioned it just above the high tide marker.

I've never seen anything like this.

This car has a next level of corrosion
where the tail meets the lid.
rear license plate bracket is rusted.

dried mud on steering wheel
dried mud on the seats

mud/mold at the dashboard vent area
mud/mold on the inside passenger door sill (A-pillar)
mud/mold on driver's inside door pull.

carpets pulled up is another sign

Mud all over the engine
Engine lid hinges are rusty.
Look at the mud on the air filter

Look at the rust at the bottom of the brake booster

Level of oxidation of the engine case.

Good to see you back, Woody (not MY "woody" , but the other Woody) - I was amazed to see how long you were apparently banned, and that none of the other shart slingers in that thread got the same treatment . . . very weird.

Inspection sticker resolves to a place on LI. 05 means it could have been any one of a number of storms, although Sandy did the most damage.

Ad says the car has been out of commission since 2005. Here's my guess...

October 5, 2005 — Tropical Storm Tammy's remnants contribute to a rainstorm which turns into the Northeast U.S. flooding of October 2005. Up to 13 inches (325 mm) of rain cause severe flooding throughout the Hudson Valley, killing 10 and causing millions of dollars in damage.[88][89]

AFAIK Tammy didn’t hit LI that hard.
Irene and Sandy were the ones I remember making a mess.
But I don’t live down there so my memory may not be the best.

look at the moss on the case! I'm no botanist, but that was in a moist place for a long long time.





looks like it was rolled into a pond or something and it sat there for a while. or at a minimum sat in a field or something with moist tall vegetation that held the moisture in and around the lower portion of the car. it would take a full submergence in salt water, then as matt said "put away wet" to achieve such devastation.
