Quote:Travis,

I presume this to mean you'd haul the whole hearse out of the woods, is that right? Whether it's worth doing that would be dependent on the condition of the body. With that many trees in and around it it's obviously been there for some time. Because of that, rust could have made the body an unsalvageable proposition. That is unless someone really, really wants that hearse. The mechanicals(engine, drivetrain, suspension and steering) being more likely to be protected from the ravages of time and climate might be your better option for salvage especially if they are the rarer types referred to by HH56. The other parts which could be of value to salvage are trim pieces, switches, handles, knobs, etc.
