Why didn’t anyone think of buying a brand new car, store it without ever using it, in the aim of selling it 50 years later as a 100% original, never used, brand new collectible car?
So you buy a new car…. You think it will be a future high-end classic car.
You put it in storage to save it for 50 years.
What you will have to do is put the car up on blocks…. let all the air pressure out of the tires… remove the battery… remove ALL liquids from the vehicle—- Antifreeze, oil, brake fluid, gas and maybe any grease…..
Now to store it it will have to be in a totally sealed room. COMPLETELY sealed AND thermographically from outside influences.
You will need to pull a vacuum on the room… full vacuum for a few days to make sure all moisture is out of the room….. Then pressurize it with pure nitrogen.
You might…MIGHT… end up with a usable car in 50 years.
Hopefully there will be a battery that’d fit it and oil and gas that it’d be compatible with.
You’ll have to make sure there is a note telling that all the Antifreeze, oil, brake fluid, gas and grease has to be put back.
A car dealer did this in Tulsa. I think in the 50s. Put a new car…1957 Plymouth… in a concrete fault under ground.
When it was time to dig it up… they found the vault was not sealed as well as they wanted.
Water seeped in carrying dirt/mud filling the vault.
It was a muddy mess of rusted deteriorating car.
If you do seal a car in a vault? Make sure it’s ABOVE ground and probably coated in plastic.
Dirt….. due to micro-organisms….. is designed to decompose anything that is in it.
