The National Corvette Museum had eight cars stolen…by a 30’x40′ sink hole.
So many men dream of owning a sleek, fast, shiny sports car, maybe a Corvette, even if they’d never admit it, even to their closest friends. And if you’re not one of them, then you can probably still appreciate the style and history of these iconic cars, and how much they mean to their owners and collectors.
And then this happens. A huge sinkhole opens under the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky. I don’t know what the landlubber equivalent of Davy Jones locker is, but 8 Corvettes are resting there.
Those cars include:
- 1993 ZR-1 Spyder on loan from General Motors
- 2009 ZR1 “Blue Devil” on loan from General Motors
The other six vehicles were owned by the National Corvette Museum including:
- 1962 Black Corvette
- 1984 PPG Pace Car
- 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette
- 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette
- 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette
- 2009 White 1.5 Millionth Corvette
No one was injured as no one was in or around the museum at the time of the collapse.
