Re: Corvette Museum
It sure didn't appear to be that bad in the initial shots when the blue C6Z was still down there. Man that's sad

Re: Corvette Museum
Yeah that is bad. Probably worse then the PPG car which I thought was non-repairable.
Were the doors open on this car when it was displayed or did they get ripped open?

Re: Corvette Museum
Wow... That ain't gonna buff out!! But, then if anyone could make something from nothing, Brett can (and has, many times).

Re: Corvette Museum
I live 27mi from the sight where a man lost his life when his car was caught up in the pyroclastic flow of Mt. St. Helen. The car has been left there in tact. Maybe that would make a nice NCM exhibit. The squished spider ?
Nah. It needs to be restored even if it's 99% parts from other sources. (one of my pics from 1999) I must say it hurts to look at it this way. Reminds me of visiting a sick relative in the hospital.

On a serious note, the car "can" be restored. The frame looks to be bent but that's fixable, as well as the windshield frame. Door geometry would need to be evaluated and put back to spec. Once these things are done though, with the mechanical driveline, it's just all cosmetics. I have access to another bare frame for cannibalization. I'm sure GM has folks to do the job right. It's simply a "process". No different than building a house. Once your foundation is set, the rest is pretty straight forward.

Re: Corvette Museum
I think the 62 was first out.
I think the Mallett and 1.5 M white car are left. This is the full list
