    Here Is the 1 Millionth Corvette Completely Restored After Falling in the Sinkhole.If you thought it couldn't be done, prepare to be amazed.

    Millionth Corvette Destroyed in Sinkhole Completely Restored​​

     
    It took around 1,200 man-hours of work and the deep pockets of the General, but the millionth Corvette produced has been fully restored after being destroyed in February of last year when a sinkhole opened up underneath the National Corvette
    Museum.


    Here is the car from the same angle, fully restored. That sinkhole, if you'll remember, swallowed eight cars.

    Several were not restorable, but despite the damage, this one was.

    I'd hardly call the damage to the billionth white thing catastrophic.
