Tragety at Corvette Museum
Eight Corvettes were damaged at the museum when a giant sink hole opened up under a 6 inch concrete slab. The concrete appearred to not have any rebar in it and gave way. The cars were later rare models except for one beautiful 62 black Corvette. JB

Re: Tragety at Corvette Museum
I heard it was 2.5 million in damages just to the cars alone.

Re: Tragety at Corvette Museum
I worked on a lot of the early Corvettes, like up the '63 model years. Never wanted one myself. I would rather get killed in a steel bodied car !

The 1 surviving 1983 was not a victim. Apparently, the museum is still open less the room where this occurred....weird.

Re: Tragety at Corvette Museum
They are now saying that most, if not all, the cars will be restored. They will be taken to the design studio where they were first designed. The way I see it is they are saying the Chevy dealers are not capible of repairing the cars. Why should we take our cars to the dealer for repairs if they are incompetant? JB

Re: Tragety at Corvette Museum
I think the damage is far more than what a dealer is capable of,on that note our local dealer isn't very capable so maybe you have a point.

Re: Tragety at Corvette Museum
This was at a local show a couple of years ago. This gentleman has had his 54 since new and it is museum quality. He took home a trophy that day for best in show. The car has 40,000 miles on it and looks as if it just left the assembly line.

Re: Tragety at Corvette Museum
Here's the latest from the Corvette Museum Youtube....the wrecks will be displayed for a bit- then off to Chevy for restoration. Scroll down to "Sinkhole" on their page, all types of videos about the sinkhole & recovery process.
