Would car wheels still turn after 20yrs in a lake? I'd say it might not be quite as long that the car was dumped there...

I'm guessing so , the grease is not going anywhere .

If that had been under water for 20 years there wouldn't have been anything left to pull out.
Its a Capri!!

That looks to have more structural integrity than some 'barnfind' Capris
I wonder what they'll now do with it?

Hi, if it's been the subject of a claim it belongs to the insurance company.

i'm sure it's just a little water damaged, rest of it'll polish out.

why do people assume if its left in water it will dissolve ? Have you not seen videos/pics/news stories about people finding cars in lakes?... and they look as good, if not better than most road legal versions on the roads today. Look at that bugatti that had been in a lake since 1920 something. Was still relatively complete and recognisable as a car., and the camaro and cadillac that had 6 bodies in them in america... That cars were still pretty much complete until they were out the water/in motion, and the fresh air got to them.

Wouldnt surprise me if it had been in there since during the joyriding days back in the 80s/early 90s

I love stories of old cars dumped in rivers/lakes etc. Theres just something interesting about them to me.

You need two things for rust, under water you don't get much of one of them....

That looks better condition under water than it would have done above water.
Forget about barn find this adds a new angle
