TRURO, Mass. — A Jeep buried in sand in Massachusetts 40 years ago has finally been dug out.
Work crews early Friday pulled out the rusted remnants of what John Munsnuff said was once his family’s “beach buggy” at the home they’ve long owned near Ballston Beach on Cape Cod.
The Jeep had once been painted white with a green interior. It had been stored in a garage that was long ago buried by shifting sand dunes.
Munsnuff said the family was unable to remove the Jeep or dismantle the now-collapsed garage all these years because of environmental regulations around the dunes, which also have swallowed up parts of a nearby town beach parking lot.
Munsnuff said he snagged a few souvenirs from the barely recognizable wreckage, including the Jeep’s hub caps and door handles.
