Yup, old Lucifer got a look at that "Corvette from Hell" magazine cover and said, "Let's have a look at 'em, pull the plug".

I hear you, I had it in mind for a crane to lift the cars, and a crane or lift for the workers as well.

Simply walking around with a shovel would easily end you up in the "belly of the beast".

It will be an interesting operation for sure. I hope it all goes well, both for man AND machine.

Here's a different angle from where the webcam is looking. Will help to see where the rest of the cars are. You can see just a rear wheel of one, under a slab of flooring, all under the C6 ZR1.

Man,that photo is really depressing to see,Jerry.

[Schrade]

Is there enough of the car next to the wheel to tell which one it is?

[We Gone]

Its my understanding the 1984 PPG Pace Car is upside down under the Blue ZR1

I cant believe how much those pics make the cars appear as "dinky" cars.

Looks more complicated than I originally thought.

It does. Looks like a kid's back yard sand/dirt box with hot-wheels cars in it. It is still amazing that none of the construction heavy equipment was not lost nor after all these years of folks walking over that area (including my son and me) that no one was hurt.

I hope there are no more sink holes around the area, like the parking lot etc.
Come to think of it, I wonder where all the water run off from the parking lot goes? hmmm

Sure does look like they have removed soem cars out of the hole, maybe it is the angle of the camera.
This is the type or archiological dig that I could really get into. Shouldnt be too difficult getting the cars out. Move a bit of dirt from around car to allow attachment of straps, have crane take the weight of care, then excavate till the car comes free. Obviously some easier than others.
IIRC the ZR-1 Spyder would be the easiest as the rear end is sticking up in the air.

The ZR1 spyder IS a Zr1 and that is the only one I care about. I still would change out the red interior. Great car. I saw it in person and I think I stood there 40 minutes. Love it.
