Can you believe this ****! Im a big Corvette guru, whats the chances of this? some of the most valueable vettes on earth, sitting in the most secure place, and the bottom falls out and swallows 8 Corvettes!

That 62 made me wana throw up! Im not a fan of any 70's, 80's or 90's Vette, I dont care what package it has on it. 57-67 or 2000 to present. All I care about. The rest just do nothing for me especially the C4 era....total GM junk.

I didn't know they had an 83 prototype there, wonder what the value on that car was?

Elliott · Feb 13, 2014

And I agree on the 84 and up till the newer ones, I don't have any use for them but I love the 70's cars and they actually have a little foot room. My wife's aunt got a 2012 with 10,000 miles on it for Christmas that is probably my favorite body style ever. She added that to a 2000 that she bought new and a 63 convertible they picked up 2 years ago. That's a cool as 50 year old woman right there.

Yea, I have seen it a couple of times, just a 84 model basically they were testing and working out the bugs on.

look like hotwheels does not look real at all total of 5 or 6?

Jpyke15 · Feb 13, 2014

Most of those cars are donated to the museum by there owners.... Hope they paid there insurance ticket. It's gotta make them sick because it does me and I'm not even a big vette guy

There's 8 all together. Western ky is falling apart, we had a 3ft gas pipe line blow up last night in Adair county, looked like an A bomb going off luckily no one got hurt. Sid they felt the blast 2 miles away.

Damn Graboids....thought they killed em all down in Perfection.

TheViking · Feb 13, 2014

Hated to see that not a big Chevrolet fan but would like a Corvette from the mid 80's or 90's to raise some hell in a autocross. Also to take the wife out on dates or just the children on days when I just have one of them or we do so something special. I miss the **** out of a straight shift sports car from what I hear you can drop C6 items into them faily easily... making a damn good sleeper :driving:

johneddie · Feb 13, 2014

Like Junedog said.... Eight total swallowed up. None belonged to individuals. Two were on loan from GM and the other six were property of the museum.
Mammoth Cave is only a short distance from the museum....possibly part of that system?? :dunno:

We're probably screwed in Ky if we ever have a major earthquake!! :****:

I love the 68-72s and the early 90s ZR1 is a bitchin machine

She was so hot in that movie. "C'mon Burt, maybe you can get 'em with the elephant gun!"

Sinkhole **** is crazy though. We had a big one occur out in the middle of a field near where I live years ago when that big earthquake hit. Walked right up to the edge of it. It was about 12-15' in diameter and half filled with muddy water.

patooyee · Feb 13, 2014

Not a big fan of the C4's but virtually all others I like. My wife is already on notice that a C3 big block project will be my midlife crisis. I have to consciously control my urge to spooge my pants whenever I see a really nice C3 Stingray build.

I felt bad til I read this.... quoted from CNN

"Sinkholes at the Motorsports Park aren't really a concern, Frassinelli said. Several holes were found during construction and were made harmless, she said"

Those Corvettes dont think they are so harmless...

Dont forget Lingerfelt, I may have bombed that, they made some sweet Corvettes flashemifyougotem

Ive got a farm about 30 miles from there. We have some good size sinkholes there too.

For entertainment, pull up the satelite image of the museum. As a geotechnical engineer, I'd be willing to be that the pond next to the museum is a sinkhole.....
