Unhappy RIP Rare LT1/LT5 Corvettes taken by sinkhole

WTF?!...sinkhole opens under National Corvette museum taking 8 Corvettes to (2 were LT1's one LT5) their early grave

The end of days is upon us!

-- the 1992 white "1 Millionth Corvette"
-- a 1993 ruby red "40th Anniversary Corvette"
-- a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder

Actually, to be a LT series nerd, LT4 didn't come out till 96'.....which makes little sense because LT5 predated it by several years. And of course there's the NEW 2015 supercharged LT4, which makes perfect logical sense; right??

Will you ever be in good graces with the Mods again?

I'd be surprised if these cars weren't repaired. Unless a car is burned, flooded or crushed/bent in half, it can be fixed. Any repairs on these vehicles wouldn't be anywhere near their value.

These cars had a slow drop into the pit. I highly doubt there's any chassis damage or twisting.

I think the only one they were allowed to retrieve was the 1983. Also, for all you lt haters, it also swallowed up the 2009 blue devil

Wow I saw this on Facebook earlier and thought it was fake because it was so outlandish. Didn't help that my friend that posted it is a Ford nut so I figured he was pulling a fast one on me. Consider me proven wrong...At this point I kind of wanted him to just be joking. For something like this to happen at ANY car museum is a disaster. Maybe not for the general public but for enthusiasts around the world. It's disappointing to see one-off vehicles plunging into a sinkhole. Am I going to lose sleep? No. It is a bummer though.

I know, but with the risk of the hole falling in more, I think they were only allowed to get the 83 out of the building
