I actually want to see how they get the cars out and how they fix the hole. I have my own ideas and wonder if they are on the same line of how it actually goes...
And they will have to send guys down there on rope gear for sure in case of more sinkage.. (as opposed to shrinkage which I would have a massive case of )

Look for rice. Not the 4-wheel kind...

Yeah, if we wouldn't have caught this, everything would have been put back to normal like nothin' ever happened. Except on the inside of each of the C4 hoods, right in front of the air cleaner, it woulda said "Made in China".

Very tricky them Chineese! Ha Ha

Well they certainly are enough previous sink holes (~250) such that there must be some experience in the area filling up these things.

I wonder what "oversee" means from GM on rebuilding? Help or just looking in from time to time?

Here is the only spider pic I have from the time back before my brick was laid.

I would hope the extraction is fully documentation by video as well as the condition of the cars once out and the restoration process. I believe this whole ordeal many will find sad, but fascinating!!!

I have to ask, does anyone know why GM changed the color on this car from silver / yellow to black/red? Any ideas?

While this combination is beautiful, I remember this car coming out about the same time as Callaway's lime green Speedster and I thought silver/yellow was WILD!

I also remember now too, wasn't there a Spyder done in red too? I know there was. It was like Torch Red, but with crushed glass in the paint. ...And no, I am not talking about 50th anniversary paint!

Dunno, but the black had a redruby pearl finish. Does anyone know what Year /month it was in vette magazine

I always thought there were 2 cars,a silver and a dark red.In fact there was only the one car.
