Unbelievable but true.  Some big money went down the hole.

I'd bet they will excavate them out of there. They will probably have to demo the building anyway.

I live 32miles from the museum and work just 6 miles from it drive by it just about every day. The Corvette plant is just a few miles away which is one of my customers that I call on. There are caves  all over this part of the country. Mammoth Cave is just north about 30 miles. We have sink holes that develop from time to time over the cave caverns.
If you want to see the hole as it opens up go to the museums web site and down load the security film and watch it swallow the vettes.   www.corvettemuseum.org

They just announced a million dollars worth damage was done. All the cars that fell in the hole was owned by GM.

No big deal. Get the '62 out and leave the rest.

They will never be museum quality again.

GM has stepped up and said they are going to send the cars back to one of their own shops and have the cars restored by GM engineering group.

When I was in high school my good friend's mom married a guy that owned a Chevy dealership. We weren't rich kids but Gary's mom got a new Corvette every year. I got to help him pick out her '62. Sebring Silver, black interior, 327, 4bbl, 4 speed, off road exhaust, heavy duty suspension, small hub caps, soft top only. He got it most weekends and when he became less excited about it he would trade it to me for a weekend for my '38 Ford coupe. '62s are still my favorite. Her '63 was a leaky, noisy piece of crap. You can have them after '62. I'd take a '53 if I could put a GMC 302 and a 4 speed in it.

Wow, you never know when Mother nature is going to eat your car! I always think about how many cool cars get wasted when theres a natural disaster.

Just read a report that the cars are being removed from the sinkhole as we speak.

[EDNY]

They pulled one out of the ground, laid it on the deck, it started and they drove it out to a bunch of cheers.

[62131]

Did anybody else notice the trail and puddle of fluid that was left as the car drove forward?

[cocobolo]

Yes indeed.  That was carefully pointed out on one of the reports I watched.
