Looks like Lonnie took good care of his Cat. I wonder though, exactly how was he placed in his car?

I remember several years ago a similar story of a lady being buried in her Corvair, but they had to remove the interior to make room for a casket.

But now nobody else can enjoy it. At least it's not a GTO or 1st or 2nd gen Pontiac F-body.

Looks like he's propped up behind the wheel in video shot w/tires still on.

Probably still cheaper than a casket.

That was great. At least the family members did not get petty and fight over the car and gun. Props to them.

If it was an SD-455 T/A, the family would have sold it, not buried it.

I've always told the old lady that I want to be buried in my Pontiac. But I don't want the car buried.
Cremate me, stick the ashes in the Glove box and lets go cruising!

Unless they removed the fuel tank, fuel system, cooling system, a/c & anything with oil in it I'm surprised the EPA didn't step in. They still might & fine his heirs I guess!

Maybe just being buried holding a Hurst shifter handle would be enough.

The very last shot you can see him behind the wheel.There is something about a Pontiac!
RIP Lonnie Holloway

I wonder why they took the tires and wheels off? Here's another video. Notice the "ROAD ENDS" sign.
