    Devastation at National Corvette Museum

    Posted on February 20th, 2014 by Goldman Buyer

    Eight valuable Corvettes on display at Kentucky’s National Corvette Museum were swallowed by a 40-foot wide sinkhole last week. The estimated value of damage is in the millions.

    The museum, about to celebrate its 20th anniversary and open a Motorsports Park in August, is the place to visit for Corvette enthusiasts, housing more than 70 unique models. Below are the eight that fell:

    • 1962 “Black Corvette”
    • 1984 PPG pace car
    • 1992 “1 Millionth Corvette”
    • 1993 ruby red “40th Anniversary Corvette”
    • 1993 ZR-1 Spyder
    • 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette
    • 2009 ZR1 “Blue Devil”
    • 2009 white “1.5 Millionth Corvette”

    All other vehicles in that room have been removed, besides one – which is hanging on a riser straight above the sinkhole. Workers are setting up ramps to safely remove it. The museum hopes to start repairs as soon as possible.

    Customer Testimonial

    Had a Great Experience

    I have dealt in coins and metals since the 80s. Had dealings with many dealers. Got scammed by a few. Chicago Gold is the only one I would recommend to my family or friends. Have your valuables appraised by them before you sell.

    I'll be back

    Cashed in some silver coins and received a very fair exchange. Joe and Chris, were very friendly, and comfortable to deal with. Came back with some jewelry, and received a rough appraisal...again no pressure.

    I would do business with them again

    I found the Chicago Gold Gallery to be a very honest and reputable shop. I would highly recommend this store to anyone buying and selling their possessions.
