That’s nice that they got a new signature from the retired worker to replace the damaged one. I wonder if anyone seriously considered leaving it in the damaged condition to reflect the reality of what happened at the museum, but probably not.

Of the Corvettes swallowed by the earth in 2014, five were deemed beyond reasonable repair, including a 1984 PPG Indy Car World Series Pace Car; a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder; a 1993 40th Anniversary coupe; a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06; and the 1.5-millionth Corvette assembled, a 2009 convertible. Instead of being scrapped, the cars were preserved in their damaged state and placed on exhibit in the museum, where they remain a popular attraction with visitors.

Plenty of other wrecked sinkhole Corvettes to see it seems.

They’ve also apparently created an exhibit on the sinkhole and underlying cave: https://www.corvettemuseum.org/corvette-cave-in-exhibit-opens-on-two-year-anniversary-of-museum-sinkhole/

It’s nice to see some of the signatures since they are hidden away in inaccessible places all over the car. I wonder if there was a photo record of them before the restoration.

I surprised that I never noticed this before, but how did the airbags not deploy from a 30 foot drop?

probably didn’t have a battery in the car...

That car strongly resembles a hamburger.
