Artifact Condition: Radiator has fallen forward onto the seabed. If front bumper is present then it is mangled. Wheels are present and are likely disc type with some rubber tire still remaining. The engine is missing. It appears the firewall is present and the windshield frame has toppled, but is difficult to assess due to many brisingids in this area. It appears to have had a spare tire on the stern and possibly a seat showing.
Additional Information: One of many vehicles found on this dive in this area. Several others were not surveyed.
