The last 2 cars that came out of that hole were completely flattened. Should they fix them? At what point does it become more of completely different car rather than a restoration? If they replace all the body panels, the drivetrain, interior, and the frame, is it the same car?

They should fix/replace them all in some way. Even if all that transfers is a cup holder I think they should give it their best effort.

I think they should all be left alone.
They are a big part of corvette history now.

Agreed, would make a cool exhibit on its own...

thats crazy.....they need to keep them as is, dirt and all.

 

[dave89iroc]

Maybe Keep them as is, and place replicas in place of them? Same info but saying the cars on display are replicas of cars damaged in the sinkhole, actual cars as recovered are in exhibit XYZ?

Let be serious, the Mallet car is/was a joke with little or no value added to the corvette community. Sell it for scrap and move on.

Just give the damaged cars a buff and put them back in the exhibit.

 

[beridebmxbe]

leave them be put them back in as is.
