C8 2020-

The National Corvette Museum says work will start in about three weeks to fill a massive sinkhole that opened up in February and allowed eight prized sports cars to topple inside.

The project's schedule calls for completion by July at the museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The museum says six of the eight cars that fell into the hole are on display in the museum's Skydome. The museum will move as many as possible into other public viewing areas after Nov. 9 until the Skydome reopens next summer.

Ever since I was in my early teens, I had a special place in my heart for ’60s Chevrolets and Corvettes. I bought my first car two years before I got my driver’s license. It was a 1962 Chevy that needed both body and mechanical work. I fixed the car, sold it, and then built a 1964 Impala SS. In 1969, I purchased my first Corvette. It was a 1968 Convertible that was in rough condition. I painted the car and sold it. Having my own body shop in New Jersey, it seemed like I always had a Corvette, either a work in progress or one that I had fixed and drove for a while before I sold it.

Here is my 1998 C5 Corvette. The first owner was a lawyer from Baton Rouge, LA. Second owner is the father of a Miss Louisiana contestant who used the ’Vette for parades so his daughter could ride in it. I'm the third owner.

The car has over 135,000 miles on it and was in sad shape when I got it. I had a complete brake job done, and I replaced all of the interior to match the exterior color. I also had the A/C overhauled and had a quite a bit of engine work done. Only the rear fenders had decals, so I had extra decals placed on it. I have invested over $8,000 in the car.

If you are looking to add or upgrade disc brakes on your Corvette, you’ll need to pay close attention to the wheel on the hub assembly. Often times, the mounting plane of the new hub will cause the wheel to sit further outward in the wheel well. Depending on the wheel and tire size, this slight variance can create all sorts of clearance problems. Check it out before installing or assembling the parts!

Instead of trying to wedge a tissue or a rag between those interior vents, try using a paintbrush. It gets into the tight spots. A cotton swab also works well. The paint brush can also be used for cleaning dust and debris out of other tight interior areas, such as where the corners of the dash meet up with the windshield pillars.

My story of searching for, buying and restoring my 1967 Corvette Roadster goes back many, many years. It started after getting married, graduating from college and landing a full-time job. This is when I began my quest to find a mid-year Corvette as my daily driver. But let me begin the story years earlier so I can explain how I got to that point.

During the last two years of high school and the four years that I was in college, I worked part time in a gas station. We lived in an affluent area in northern New Jersey so I had plenty of opportunities to repair and drive high-end cars of the time. The mid-year Corvette was one of my favorites. Besides working at the gas station, I had my own small restoration and body shop and had developed a reputation in the area for doing fabrication and fiberglass repair on Corvettes.

Future Collectible: 2013 Corvette 427: The 2013 Corvette 427 Convertibles are no longer being built (since the new 2014 C7s are well into their production cycle), but these special Corvettes will become highly sought after and collectible from here on in. With a limited production run of 2552 units and the highest priced model in 2013 (at $76,900), the 427 Convertible basically has guaranteed collectability written all over it.
