Sometime back in 1977, a sand dune in Cape Cod engulfed an entire garage with a Jeep Wagoneer inside. And after 4 decades, they finally uncovered it…and this is what it looks like. Although it looks pretty rough, surprisingly the engine block seemed intact.
After workers removed the garage, they wrapped a chain onto the front axle of the and hauled it out. There were a few pieces that were salvageable like the hubcaps, dash, and grille. According to Autoweek, what makes this a rare find is that the Jeep was taken over by sands instead of a hurricane and wasn’t completely rusted and corroded. Cape Cod also currently has the highest concentration of original Wagoneers and Grand Wagoneers in the world, so here’s one more to add to the list.
