Two days ago, a sinkhole measuring 12 meters in diameter and 8 to 9 meters deep devoured 8 rare Corvette cars that were on display at the National Corvette Museum.

Among the 8 cars that fell victim to this incident were two cars owned by GM, namely the 2009 ZR1 “Blue Devil” and the 1993 ZR-1 Spyder, along with six other cars owned by the museum. The museum’s collection included a black 1962 Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, a white 1992 Corvette worth $1 million, a red Ruby 40th Anniversary 1993 Corvette, a 2001 Z06 Corvette Mallett Hammer, and a white 2009 Corvette worth $1.5 million.
Authorities initially announced that the museum would reopen today after the incident, but later reversed their decision and declared that the entire museum would temporarily close to implement safety measures.
The safety measures referred to here involve moving other cars in the collection to a different location to prevent them from being affected by the sinkhole. Many museum staff members are currently busy relocating these rare Corvettes, but it is still uncertain where these cars will be relocated to.
