- After more than four months and 1,200 man-hours of painstaking craftsmanship, restoration of the milestone 1-millionth Corvette - a white 1992 convertible - is complete.
It was unveiled today at the National Corvette Museum, in Bowling Green, Ky., where it returns as part of the permanent exhibit. The car was damaged on Feb. 12, 2014, when it and seven other rare Corvettes tumbled into a sinkhole that opened beneath the museum’s Skydome area.
Chevrolet pledged to restore it.
After recovery from the sinkhole, the 1-millionth Corvette was moved from the museum to the Design Center on GM’s Technical Center campus in Warren, Mich., for restoration. Approximately 30 craftspeople and technicians from GM Design’s Mechanical Assembly group, along with GM Service Operations, took on the project. Mechanical Assembly and the Fabrication Shops at GM Design builds concept vehicles and maintains GM’s historic vehicle collection.
The 1-millionth Corvette is the second sinkhole-damaged Corvette that Chevrolet has restored. The first, a 2009 Corvette ZR1 prototype known as the Blue Devil, was only lightly damaged and was returned to its original condition last fall. The National Corvette Museum will oversee the restoration of a third car, a 1962 Corvette. - Авто та транспорт
There is something to be said about a clean shop even while working on a car. Looks great, good job on fixing it.
Like a brand new car!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. :)
Wish I could find a paint shop that I would be able to learn the skills of the trade. Possibly do this level of paint job on my vehicle.
would have loved to apprentice on that restoration
HI BLOODY BEAUTIFUL , how many are you going to fully restore , l know looking at them some got really damaged ?
what are the songs used in video?
What a silver car name from left side at 00:54 second??? I like that doors
бог господень Aero Corvette. 1973 prototype I believe.
Is this one of the Vettes that fell through the sinkhole?
+benarcher45 Yes it is.
I want to know what that is sitting off to the left at 1:00 :)
+themikester223 That would be the Aerovette
+themikester223 I was wondering that myself.
+Jacob Hardy thanks
+themikester223 That 4 rotor would be a bitch to fix...
What a waste. It was only original once. All that time and money could have been put to use in a more constructive endeavor...say, revitalizing a school in Detroit maybe. #missguidedpriorities
This car is history. Restoring it is important.
Your priorities are different from everyone else's and telling others how to spend their money is none of your business. Instead of telling others what to do why don't you go into the community to organize the residents to work for that goal as a team instead of being a checkbook activist.
