History of the National Corvette Museum Sinkhole – Time-Lapse Video

Time-Lapse video shows sinkhole repair at the National Corvette Museum.

The nightmare is over! The sinkhole is filled and the Skydome is open. To pay tribute to the cars that went down, the recovered eight cars that crashed into the open hole are in the exact position they were in the morning the earth opened up.

Eight cars went down. The 2009 Blue Devil, the 1992 1 Millionth Corvette, and the 1962 Corvette that were on loan survived, although pretty beat, all will be fully restored. The least beat and the first restored was the Blue Devil C6 2009 ZR1. The black 1962 Corvette is being restored by Chevrolet, and the 1 Millionth Corvette was fully restored.
