Chevrolet to Restore Corvettes Eaten by Museum Sinkhole
The eight gorgeous Corvettes that plummeted into a sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky will be restored by Chevrolet themselves. The process will not be easy – there is a ton of damage done to most of the cars – but Chevrolet is probably the right team to do it. After all, they were the ones who built them originally.
When it’s all said and done, everyone involved hopes that they will be close to their original state. They will now have a history of their own beyond the telling of the Corvette story which may end up helping the museum get more people to attend, assuming they aren’t afraid of getting involved in a similar situation. While they won’t be conditioned to be sold at a Chevrolet dealer or at auction since they are considered totaled, the addition of Chevrolet doing the restoration makes for an interesting story for collectors interested in getting them, even if not to drive.
According to ABC:
Just how the cars will be pulled out of the ground remains to be seen, said museum executive director Wendell Strode. The local fire department estimated the hole is about 40 feet across and 25 to 30 feet deep. The hole opened beneath part of the museum’s domed section.
