I agree with everything but ownership.The NCM accepts ownership of the car,not any one private person,organization should have the car.If the frame of the car isnt tweaked too bad,considering the shape of the crushed prototype KOHs it can be done.Somebody needs to start a page on Facebook,save the Spyder!

Great idea. Wonder who one would talk to in GM who is in control of these "one off cars"? Attachment 3764

We may need to get the NCM / GM to donate what is left of the Spyder to the ZR-1 Net Registry and allow us to see this through. What do they have to lose?

I agree 100%, Mark!!

Would a delegation of Registry people to GM/NCM to make that case be something to consider???

Re: The ZR-1 spider will not be restored

It's a great idea ! I'm on board with the resurrection of the Spyder.

May I suggest , that we take this idea up in a Registry vote ?

Now that would be cool. However, I am in the camp of leaving the hole there with a glass roof or some kind of bridge and having several of the non-restorable cars in the hole for display.

if I wasn't getting a discount on insurance from the ncm I'd pull my membership if they did that. No car is non-restorable, all it takes is money

Re: The ZR-1 spider will not be restored

I too am all for the Spyder restoration.

The NCM voted to fill in the hole, because the large retaining wal (35ft tall) required to make the site safe, would make the attraction not look like a sinkhole anymore.
The "keep the sinkhole" was originally though to cost $500,000 more than the "repair the Skydome to original" option. However taking into account vapour barriers for humidity control, caused the difference to grow to $1,000,000.
