    The Corvette fans around the world felt miserable when a sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum sucked some eight Corvettes into it last year. It was more than just a disaster for these fans and for the museum. But work has begun to bring the museum back to its earlier shape.

    The sinkhole, originally 70 feet deep, was formed in February last year after the floor under that section collapsed and swallowed up eight awesome Corvettes. Earlier there were plans to retain the 30-feet deep, 25-feet long and 45-feet wide section, but due to issues with the local officials and the cash inflow the project could never take off. Currently, work is underway to fill the sinkhole and it is expected to be completed by the end of this month. Few of the fans donated money to the museum, out of which one of them wrote a hefty cheque of $250,000 (he has a very big heart). They will use the money to restore the affected Corvettes. 

    Check out the way the experts recovered the 1962 Corvette from the sinkhole.  (Not recommended for die-hard Corvette fans)
