Thread: Kentucky Sinkhole Eats 8 Corvettes!!

Tweet

By the looks of those pics, they had best be moving some other cars before they be gone too.

I found this from the above link.

The National Corvette Museum, on Interstate 65 just north of Bowling Green, will celebrate its 20th anniversary in August. Of the eight cars that fell into the hole, the museum owned six and General Motors owned two. GM's Corvette plant where present-day Corvettes are manufactured is across a highway less than a half mile from the museum.

Cars involved in the incident, which occurred inside the museum's iconic spire called the Sky Dome, are these:


•1962 black Corvette
•1984 PPG pace car
•1992 white 1 millionth Corvette
•1993 ruby red 40th anniversary Corvette
•1993 ZR-1 Spyder on loan from General Motors
•2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette
•2009 white 1.5 millionth Corvette
•2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil" on loan from General Motors

Emergency personnel allowed museum staff to remove only one car in the Sky Dome, the only surviving 1983 Corvette, Strode said. It had not fallen into the hole.

Andrea Hales, communications manager at the Bowling Green Corvette plant, said the Corvette was not produced in 1983. She added that the sinkhole had no effect on the nearby plant.

Engineers at the scene are assessing the situation, said Jason Polk, a professor of geology and geography at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green. Polk is part of the team investigating the cause and extent of the sink hole at the museum Wednesday.

Ok, the black '62 is a really sad one to lose .....might be fun to have the others for parts.
