Classic Corvette Swallowed by the Ground

I think I see a 1962 Corvette in that hole. There's probably an L98 deep down in that hole.

Re: Classic Corvette Swallowed by the Ground

If you want to see a full list of the cars that were swallowed, here it is:

living in KY it doesn't come as much of a surprise...the karst topography around here is crazy. sad to see those cars probably mostly lost beyond repair though. Some could maybe be saved.

Re: Classic Corvette Swallowed by the Ground

From what I can tell, some of the cars look like they might be able to be saved... If they are carefully removed looks like minimal damage...

Hate to say it... but its not 3rd gen related.
