that was way way way too wild

Wonder what the significance of the 62 model was ?
Odd it was in with all those late model wedgies

Personally I am getting sick of it, he's like a cancer too this forum.
Alvin, do you really need to be the main focus of every thread?

His annoying style of different fonts of cut-n-paste paragraph after paragraph, intermixed responses, & his huge signature graphics did it for me along time ago. put him on IGNORE

Yep. My maternal grandfather was from the Bowling Green area. Warren Co., KY is 50 miles south of Mammoth Cave and has THOUSANDS of undiscovered caves. Karst is NOT a good thing to build on.

I would TOTALLY take that new blue one...

I like Vette's, aside from the impracticality of a two seater, but the one's I like are the 53-57, C2's, 68-72, C4's, and C6's...
I never cared for the C5's, and so far I am not diging the C7's at all.

That was funny!

I dont like Corvettes and I own one......that is all lol

A little story on each of the 8 victims.

/\ /\ that was a good read :)

Thanks for posting it.

For even the "ho-hum" cars, each has a story, and it's sad to see them come to this fate ~ maybe they can be saved...

If they can be pulled out they'll be saved. My father is a NCRS VP and he is getting updates on the condition of the building daily. If I find out any good info I'll pass it along.

That was a good article, thanks for posting.

Article said they are going to try and salvage them and display in a special exhibit featuring "natural disasters".

Also said they had sinkhole coverage.

What a loss, and I hate to see this happen to any collectible car.

"Some good news regarding these cars is that all of the Corvettes were insured and yes, the NCM had sinkhole coverage. The Corvette Museum Marketing Director Katie Frassinelli has said that they will attempt to recover all the cars and that they may be used in a “Survivors” exhibit which will showcase Corvettes that survived traumatic events and natural disasters like yesterday’s sinkhole[. "

Beat me to it Harper! ;)

Good news - go get em!

Any updates? Has the hole gotten larger? Have they moved the other Corvettes that were in the same room? I've been to the museum and salivated over the "Blue Devil". That little window in the hood was pretty cool! Like 'em or not, it was a tragic event. I'd be a bit worried over at the assembly plant close by.

I'd think the first ones in would be crushed beyond repair. Only 6 seen and they don't look too good. The 1 millionth and the 1.5 millionth and the orange 1984 PPG Corvette Pace Car history I'd say. If the 1993 Corvette ZR-1 Spyder is the one with only the left rear quarter showing I'd say that one is toast too.

When they move the museum I sure hope they find a safer location.

Personally I'd never heard of Karst and the underground effects until yesterday. Who knew all of those beautiful rolling Kentucky fields where hiding such potential disasters?

Evidently the museum curators did, if they had "sinkhole coverage" endorsements.
During a telephone conversation today with family member who's an adjuster, mentioned this event to her and 1st comment from her was: "Sinkhole coverage is excluded from most policies."

I'd imagine Oil & Gas style seismic penetration radar, etc. will be used to pinpoint the depth and extent of the ground loss....for reclamation and relocation.
:usflag:

:doh:
:popcorn:

Alvin,

Karst is pretty much limited to the south central (NOT western) part of KY. In my part of IN and N. KY, "normal" limestone has been quarried since the 1820s. We have caves, but NO WHERE as many as exist in Barren, Edmunson and Warren Cos. Additionally, we DO NOT have "sink" holes.

;) :bounce:

Thanks guys for the update and info.Geez the engineering for the bldg was short sited.A few test borings would have helped in unknown earth.Should'a could'a.Wanted a Corvette after watching Rt 66 back in early 60's.Neighbor had 65-66-67. I ended up with TA's!
