Looks like it's in much better shape than the ruby though. New front bumper, a-pillers, and the rest will buff out.

I have a queston about the 1,000,000 and 1,500,000 Corvettes.

When they counted did they count "all" the Corvettes or just the one's available to the public.

Just curious.

Those are production numbers, and yes they count them all to include "X" numbers.

Bummer, looks beat the hell down compared to the ZR1, and the 93.

Looks like Blue Devil is going to be in the best shape and it will literally be down hill from there.

Did the 1,000,001 corvette just go up in value? :P

here's something to wonder about...... when it comes time to restore #1MM, how are they going to duplicate the signatures of all the plant workers who signed that one upon completion?

I knew the last C4 was full of signatures, I didn't realize the 1,000,000 was signed as well. That is a good question, some have passed? Maybe display the original replaced damaged panels with the restored car.

I just watched the video of the recovery. It looks like if the car hadn't caught on a ledge it would have gone way deeper

Excellent point. I, for one, do hope they do leave it as is.

They should leave alone with all it's original parts. It's a milestone piece of history.

I just saw on the museum web site that they just put the 1,000,000 back in the hole. Does that make since at all?

Aren't the sigs under the hood?

If so, display the hood so people can see them

On the bright so, the sinkhole is giving the museum a lot of press.

Are you serious? Did they actually put it back into the hole?
