Re: Corvette Museum
It is sad. Earlier today when I first saw the headline I thought "man some dealership here in FL just lost some inventory". Man I was wrong. I can remember having dinner in there and guess it was not my time. That looks like a lot of work to fix this if it is even possible. Good luck making it happen.

Re: Corvette Museum
I'm far from an expert on sinkholes - but I do have some experience with excavation and such. That does not appear from the pics/video to be a water problem from the museum itself as some speculated (water lines etc)
That looks like a good old-fashioned big time limestone cave in sinkhole. The dirt in the hole appears to be dry - and the rock looks to be fractured like a huge collapse into an underground cavern WAY below what you see... Will be interesting to see where they go from here...

Re: Corvette Museum
I am aware they are already addressing the issues that will involve the new Motorsports Park complex.

Re: Corvette Museum
I hope all effort is made to restore the black spyder, I know that sounds selfish but I am posting on a ZR-1 forum. It will be interesting to see what GM decides to do with the damaged cars.

Re: Corvette Museum
There is a better 6 minute video on YouTube of the sinkhole where they actually FLEW IT LIKE THEY STOLE IT and got the drone in the sinkhole. Guess we are still on for the Gathering or is it too early to know?

Re: Corvette Museum
Someone, please knock off a mold of that speedster hood before restoration.
 That looks like the one that should have gone on every ZR-1, beautiful.To me, the 62' hurts the most. To think of all the love and care lavished on that car for all these years, and now hanging by a thread. What a shame. P.S. (See shot #120 in the NCM stills) - It's great to see Gov. Chris Christie taking a break from politicking in Kentucky to help roll some C4's out of danger. Gee Gov. we didn't even know you could fit in one
