[Ponyvettes]

The 1,000,000th. Corvette has been pulled from the sinkhole.Lots of questions prevail-Will the car be salvageable?How much will the car be worth if so?Does the opti-spark still work..........?

Haha, brilliant

[Gixer]

Unfortunately as they go deeper into the hole, the damage is getting much worse

[Ponyvettes]

Aye.If they go any deeper they'll bump into Doug McClure and Peter Cushing chillin' in a '53.

I know I shouldn't, but... I think it'll polish out ok.

Ooof, that looks almost like a cat A write-off. Are they really going to restore that? In reality it would end up being an almost completely new car anyway.

Wonder who has the 999,999th Vette? They may be getting a phone call?

I've seen some of those cars when I accompanied Gixer and Nutz to a ZR1/Grand Sport Gathering in '04 or '05.

That PPG car splits opinion, I think it's an interesting car and like it. Looks like it was very custom though, with most of the body modified/unique and similar with the chassis. I guess it will end up seeing a lot of the parts copied from the originals, and only a few of the originals transferring to the "restoration."

They reckon it got cleaved by a slab of concrete. Can't argue with that seeing the pictures.

I was looking for some more info on it, but there isn't a lot, at least it's clouded now by articles on the sink hole. Found the Dodge M4S instead, interesting car that could nearly crack 200mph on a 2.2 litre 4 cylinder motor. Looks like these PPG sponsored pace cars were pretty serious business for manufacturers, like real working concept cars.
