Scuba team asked to retrieve one car from Oregon river, end up finding 6 classic cars

A scuba team were in for a big surprise when they were asked to retrieve a car from a Oregon river – and discovered six.

The YouTube channel Adventures With Purpose were taking a look at a murky river outside the city of Portland.

When they spotted six classic cars lurking beneath the surface, they knew they were in for something special.

The cars found in a unassuming Oregon river

The team were initially sent to the river on a tip that a woman had dumped her cheating boyfriend’s truck there 20 years ago.

It’s like the old saying ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold’.

They just missed off ‘in cold water’ at the end.

The first car pulled out of the water was a Mazda RX-7 FB.

Given that it’d be under water for a considerable amount of time, it was a little worse for wear.

But with a crushed roof and windshield, it’s fair to say it was in rougher shape than some of the others.

River rescues can be a piece of cake with the right equipment, as this Mahindra C3JB demonstrated when it pulled a car from an Indian river.

Also in the watery graveyard is a Chevrolet Luv pickup truck, which could potentially be the rumored cheater’s truck.

Next to the Chevy is another pickup that the divers weren’t able to identify.

There was also a 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback.

Rollin’ down the river

Only the Mazda is shown being pulled out to dry land in the video.

Adventures With Purpose are no strangers to the water, and have dedicated many videos to deep dives of rivers and lakes.

Usually they’re looking into cold cases, with 33 solved so far according to their website.

Their channel, originally set up in 2018, started off as a clean-up operation.

But after they discovered a missing person, they shifted focus to using sonar imaging equipment to solve missing people and car cases.

River finds can often be just as interesting as a barn find – with

Cars often don’t go well with water, although this flying car from China would be the exception to that rule.
