Can't read it but it's been posted on a few sites. The guy found it and rescued it by floating it on a raft across the lake (it broke down in the 60's or 70's and was stranded as there were no roads to tow it back on.)

That's awesome!!

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some splits in the middle of nowhere here in BC as well.

The story I heard was that the car was driven across the lake in the winter, then broke down and couldn't be driven back.

These two are a little worse for wear. But I'm sure a little gas, change the oil, and regap the plugs and they would probably fire right up.
