NCM Sinkhole restoration story
In case you haven't seen it, here is a link to a story about the 1,000,000th Corvette that went in the sinkhole at the NCM.

Re: NCM Sinkhole restoration story
Thanks for sharing, Jim; I hadn't yet seen it. Great to see this and the Blue Devil restored. It's still hard to look at the others that won't meet with the same end.

Re: NCM Sinkhole restoration story
I got in touch with someone at the NCM and asked about the ZR-1 Spyder and was told it won't be restored. I do think it's in bad taste to keep these cars on display as is but if this draws in the people,whatever. I just don't want to think of this car as a sideshow freak. I was told that there is a possibility the car will be reproduced. I really would like to see the car removed from the display though.

Re: NCM Sinkhole restoration story
This entire dramatic sink hole deal is unreal. I live in ground zero sink hole-Florida and I've never seen one sink hole. I smell something shady going on. I mean seriously, of all the land that could cave in in Kentucky and the lord chose the area under the National Corvette Museum! Makes zero sense!
