GM perfectly restored the millionth Corvette
after it was destroyed by a sinkhole Story By: Chris Ziegler
"GM says the job took 1,200 man-hours over the span of four months to turn the white 1992 convertible from a heap of garbage into a showroom-new car, preserving as many of the original parts as possible thanks to the signatures on many of them. Of the hundreds of signatures, two were on parts that couldn't be repaired, so the company scanned the signatures and transferred them to new parts. One additional signature was too damaged to scan, so GM tracked down the signer — more than two decades after the car's construction — and had her sign the part again."

"The Fish" that inspired the unusual color scheme.
Note: They couldn't get the car's paint color to match
exactly, so they painted the fish to match the car.
