I'm willing to bet those two are gone. I wish more pictures would be released.

We will now have a min. of silence and make it an annual thing.

I am surprised they don't do test drill holes , down 3 or 4 hundred feet on commercial building sites to determine if there is any caves below.
Just driving through that area , you can see numerous old sink holes in pasture feilds.

Here's some more awesome footage.

Well. This does raise questions about not only the rest of the Museum, but the fact that Bowling Green Assembly itself is just across the street.

FenwickHockey65 · 02-12-2014, 04:50 PM

Yeah that ZR1 might still be okay but everything else doesn't look good.

Here's a flyover by drone...check out the cars. PPG car is gone. The white vert is toast. The '62 looks salvageable as does the Bluedevil. http://blog.caranddriver.com/down-in...useum-sinkhole

They will get them all out. Never leave a man behind!

Would not be surprised to see them all restored.
ZR1 and the 62 actually look pretty fair.

I would. Have you seen them? Oh wait.. You can't because they're buried under dirt, slabs of concrete, and other Corvettes.

The ZR1 and 62 will be fine.

Couldn't even imagine being one of those owners. It appears from the photos the integrity of the entire structure may be compromised. Hopefully they are planing a strategy to remove the remaining cars first, before they loose more.

AZCamaroFan · 02-12-2014, 07:17 PM

some of those are thrashed. as for the Blue Devil, yes it doesn't look destroyed, but how do you get It out of there?
