1992 Corvette 1,000,000th Produced

1992 Corvette – 1,000,000th Corvette Produced – Bowling Green, KY 2014

In February 2014, a sinkhole opened up in the National Corvette Museum and swallowed 8 Corvettes. This event was well covered by national news media and rocked the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. A total of 8 cars went into the sinkhole at about 5:30 am that morning. One of the cars, and arguably the most significant of the cars, was the one millionth Corvette ever produced. This is an important piece of Corvette history, as well as Sports Car history.

On behalf of one of the parties involved in the claim, I traveled up to Bowling Green, KY and inspected the cars to perform Total Loss Appraisals on each of the cars taken by the sinkhole. This was a very unique appraisal due to the significance of the car, and how different in value the car is from the one produced just before or after. As you can see in the photos, the car was heavily damaged, and with support from General Motors, the car is to be restored.

I preform Car Appraisals and Pre Purchase Inspections throughout the United States with our regular service area being Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina. I travel extensively throughout the United States and Canada. If you are considering the purchase of a special interest car, contact us to inspect the vehicle for you. Our inspections can be performed in most cases within 24 hours. Contact us today at 772.621.2622 to discuss your needs or use our online Pre Purchase Inspection Request Form.
