A Chevy sinkhole survivor drives into the National Corvette Museum with minimal damage despite its long free fall into the 30-foot deep sinkhole. The only major damage is cosmetic- the carbon fiber running boards are shattered- and the rest is simply minor paint damage and a crack in the windshield. A split in the oil-supply line for the 6.2L LS9 V-8 engine would need to be fixed, in which case the car would then be able to drive as far as Detroit!
The other vehicle extracted from the sinkhole was a 1993 40th anniversary model Corvette. There was a great deal of cosmetic damage to the hood, fenders, and window glass. However, there was only minimal mechanical damage. According to John Spencer, manufacturing integration manager for Corvette, "the 40th Anniversary looks much worse than it really is" and the Corvette "is definitely salvageable". Within the next 60 days, the team plans to retrieve the remaining vehicles from the hole. All of the recovered cars will be sent to the Mechanical Assembly facility. This small speciality shop is based in Warren, Michigan and technicians there will decide the best restoration approach.
